AI Summary:
\ Jordan and the United Arab Emirates were expected to begin airdrops in the coming days. Experts criticized the drops as largely symbolic. Nearly one in three people in Gaza is coping with food insecurity. Israel allowed hundreds of trucks with aid to enter each day for several weeks during a cease-fire that lasted from January to March. Israel barred practically all aid from entering the Gaza Strip for more than two months, including food, fuel and medicine. At least one recent attempt by the U.N. To bring food into Gaza led to chaotic scenes as Israeli soldiers shot at crowds of Palestinians rushing to seize bags of flour. Israeli military said its forces had fired “warning shots” after thousands of Palestinians rushed the area. The military disputed the death toll provided by Gaza officials but did not provide an alternate figure. Iran could withdraw from a key nuclear nonproliferation treaty if Europe followed through on its threats to reimpose sanctions on Tehran.
