Good morning Middle East Eye readers.

Here are the key developments overnight:

  • The World Food Programme called for an end to Israel’s blockade on Gaza, noting that no food has entered the Strip since 2 March, resulting in prices to surge by 200 per cent.

  • The UN’s humanitarian agency warned that parents in Gaza are struggling to feed their children and hospitals are running out of basic supplies again amid the Israeli blockade.

  • Israeli attacks killed at least two people in the village of Ainata in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese media.

  • US forces launched more attacks on Yemen, hitting a hijacked ship in the Red Sea port of Hodeidah and a government complex in the northern province of al-Jawf.

  • Meanwhile, Yemen's Ansar Allah administration said it attacked the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier for the second time in the past 24 hours, launching “a number of drones and ballistic and cruise missiles” at the warship.
