In this bulletin, humanitarian aid convoys to Gaza halted after shelling at the border with Egypt; a new report finds almost half the population is feeling anxious about going hungry; and in football, Pakistan' Cricket World Cup campaign off to a mixed start.
A new report finds almost half the population is feeling anxious about going hungry The delivery of humanitarian aid at the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip has been halted after shelling was heard close by.
The Israeli defence force has said it expresses sorrow regarding the incident, which is under investigation, giving no further details. "Before the 7th of October about 500 trucks were entering Gaza and they were considered not sufficient to meet all the needs of the population, and I'm puzzled by the fact that the international community doesn't come to terms with the fact that there is a need for an immediate ceasefire." Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has spoken at a vigil to remember the lives lost in the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel.
This year's Foodbank Hunger Report reveals 48 per cent of the general population feels anxious or struggles to consistently access adequate food. “We know we are seeing people who are younger. We know we are seeing people who are employed. A job is no longer a defence or a shield against food insecurity and it's presenting Foodbank with some really big challenges in terms of meeting the demand for food relief but also having to change the way that we can reach communities given that we are now dealing with so many young professionals.
