A ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza has departed Cyprus, according to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit that said it was the first maritime shipment of humanitarian aid to the enclave. Northern Gaza is on the brink of famine, should the aid it receives not increase rapidly, the UN World Food Programme chief warned. The number of children dying of malnutrition and dehydration in the area is rising, including two newborn girls on Monday, a pediatrician at the Kamal Adwan Hospital said. The US intelligence community has assessed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's 'viability as a leader' is in jeopardy, according to an annual unclassified threat assessment. Netanyahu has faced fierce criticism within Israel for his government’s failure to predict or forestall the October 7 Hamas attack. Israel has not presented the US with a humanitarian or military plan for Rafah in southern Gaza, where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering. And multiple Israeli officials have said the ground offensive into the city that Netanyahu says will go ahead is not imminent
