Ceasefire talks resume in Gaza

Negotiations resume today in Cairo for a possible ceasefire during Ramadan in the Gaza Strip, where yesterday the first humanitarian aid was sent by the American armed forces to the civilian population on the brink of starvation.
In the Egyptian capital, a Hamas delegation is expected to give a "formal response" to the proposal drawn up in late January by the mediating countries, Qatar, Egypt, the US and Israeli negotiators, according to an AFP source close to the Palestinians.

The proposal calls for a "phase one" of a six-week ceasefire and the release of 42 hostages held in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Israel has "more or less" accepted the terms for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, meaning the ball is "in Hamas's court," a US official told reporters in Washington on Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Israeli government has not confirmed this information. The day before, US President Joe Biden reiterated that he "hopes" that a ceasefire will be declared until Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, which this year begins on the night of March 10 or 11.

In nearly five months, the war, sparked by an unprecedented attack by Hamas in southern Israel, has claimed the lives of 30,320 people in the Gaza Strip, the vast majority of them women and children, according to the latest health ministry report. In the small coastal enclave, the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. According to Jens Lerke of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 2.2 of its 2.4 million inhabitants are threatened by "almost imminent" starvation. The Hamas Health Ministry announced that 13 babies had died of "malnutrition and dehydration" in recent days. Due to the great difficulties in sending humanitarian aid en route to the enclave, which Israel has imposed a siege on since October 9, several countries are dropping aid by parachute, notably Jordan with France, the Netherlands with Britain, Egypt with the Emirates United Arab Emirates.

The US carried out the first such operation yesterday, where three military aircraft dropped 66 parachute packs. They contained over 38,000 meals. The operation was carried out together with Jordan.
