In northern Gaza, one in six children under the age of 2 is suffering from acute malnutrition, the official, Ramesh Rajasingham, said. The U.N. has not been able to deliver any aid to the region since early this month, it said, because of security risks and Israeli restrictions. The fighting, damage from the war and Israeli restrictions on essential goods entering Gaza have decimated the territory’s ability to feed itself through farming, livestock and fishing, Rajasingham said. Data: A new World Bank report that found that the enclave’s economic output shrank by over 80 percent in the last quarter of 2023, calling it “one of the largest economic shocks ever recorded in recent history.” Up to 96 percent of Gaza’s agricultural infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, and about 80 percent of the population has lost its jobs. In the short term, “every resident of Gaza will live in poverty,” the report said. Cease-fire talks: Hamas’s political leader said the group was being flexible, [but was prepared to continue the war](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnwiSFP4RcAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyNC8wMi8yOC93b3JsZC9pc3JhZWwtaGFtYXMtd2FyLWdhemEtbmV3cy9oYW1hcy1pbnNpc3RzLWl0LWlzLWJlaW5nLWZsZXhpYmxlLWluLXRhbGtzLWJ1dC1pcy1wcmVwYXJlZC10by1jb250aW51ZS10aGUtd2FyP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDI0MDIyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTYzMTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU5Mzk3JnNtaWQ9dXJsLXNoYXJlJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl1IWf32W4bj4QUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).

Perhaps the day’s biggest takeaway was that a movement urging Democrats to vote “uncommitted” rather than for Biden succeeded in grabbing his attention. The effort, which was meant to pressure Biden to call for an unconditional cease-fire in Gaza, helped draw 13 percent of the vote. While that figure paled next to Biden’s 81 percent, it surprised his campaign. Until this week, the president’s team hadn’t anticipated the strength of apparent anti-Biden sentiment among Michigan Democrats, especially after he cruised through the first two primaries in South Carolina and Nevada.
