The World Food Programme will run out of supplies to provide food to the hundreds of thousands of people in north Gaza in a week and a half if Israel does not immediately allow a sharp increase in aid deliveries, its director in the Palestinian territories has warned. The already catastrophic conditions in northern Gaza have deteriorated rapidly in recent days, as Israel launched a massive new offensive in the area and prevented the UN from providing any aid to the north for two weeks, according to the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Even before these moves, aid groups had warned that the roughly 400,000 people still estimated to be living in northern Gaza were facing acute food insecurity.Amid mounting international alarm, US secretary of state Antony Blinken and secretary of defence Lloyd Austin wrote to Israeli officials this week, warning that US military aid to Israel could be at risk if it did not take steps to improve humanitarian conditions in the next 30 days. But in an interview with the Financial Times, Antoine Renard, the WFP’s director in Palestine, said supplies were set to run out much sooner than that. He said the programme would no longer be able to provide warm meals to people in north Gaza in a week and a half and would be unable to provide bread in a week if aid deliveries did not increase significantly.

The forces of American culture and politics are pushing men and women under age 30 into opposing camps, creating a new fault line in the electorate and adding an unexpected wild card into the 2024 presidential election. Voters under 30 have been a pillar of the Democratic coalition since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989. That pillar is showing cracks, with young men defecting from the party. Young men now favor Republican control of Congress and Trump for president after backing Biden and Democratic lawmakers in 2020.Women under 30 remain strongly behind Democrats for Congress and the White House. They are also far more likely to call themselves liberal than two decades ago.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily blocked a new effort by President Biden to wipe out tens and perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt.The plan was part of the president’s piecemeal approach to forgiving debt after the Supreme Court rejected a more ambitious proposal last year that would have canceled more than $400 billion in loans. Mr. Biden has instead pursued more limited measures directed at certain types of borrowers, including people on disability and public service workers, and refined existing programs.The decision leaves in limbo millions of borrowers enrolled in a new plan, called Saving on a Valuable Education, which ties monthly payments to household size and earnings.The emergency application was one of two related to the program that the justices decided on Wednesday. The brief order did not give reasons, which is typical, and no public dissents were noted.

The top commanders of Hamas are mostly dead. The group’s rank and file has been decimated. Many of its hide-outs and stockpiles have been captured and destroyed.But Hamas’s killing of an Israeli colonel in northern Gaza on Sunday underscored how the group’s military wing, though unable to operate as a conventional army, is still a potent guerrilla force with enough fighters and munitions to enmesh the Israeli military in a slow, grinding and as yet unwinnable war.Hamas’s remaining fighters are hiding from view in ruined buildings and the group’s vast underground tunnel network, much of which remains intact despite Israel’s efforts to destroy it, according to military analysts and Israeli soldiers.Some of those explosives were stockpiled before the start of the war. Others are repurposed Israeli munitions that failed to explode on impact, according to both Hamas and the Israeli military. Hamas released a video this week that appeared to show Hamas combatants turning an unexploded Israeli missile into an improvised bomb.In open combat, Hamas’s fighters are no match for Israel’s army, as the killing of Mr. Sinwar in southern Gaza last week showed. Cornered in the ruins of Rafah, Mr. Sinwar was killed by an Israeli unit that could call on tanks, drones and snipers for backup.Yet the aimlessness of Israel’s strategy has led to questions from both Israelis and Palestinians about why its soldiers were sent again to Jabaliya.“We occupy territories, and then we get out,” said Michael Milstein, an Israeli analyst of Palestinian affairs. “This kind of doctrine means that you find yourself in endless war.”
