Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Hamas Offers Conditional Hostage Aid as Gaza Faces Deepening Crisis
Caption: Hamas Offers Conditional Hostage Aid as Gaza Faces Deepening Crisis. Hamas says it's willing to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to Israeli hostages—but only if Israel halts airstrikes and opens permanent humanitarian corridors. The statement follows the release of a disturbing video showing hostage Evyatar David, visibly emaciated, digging what he says is his own grave. Israel believes 50 hostages remain in Gaza, but only 20 are thought to be alive. Humanitarian groups have been denied all access, and families say they've received no information for over 660 days. Outrage over the video has prompted a UN Security Council session on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Gaza's health ministry says 175 people—half of them children—have now died from starvation. Fuel shortages are crippling hospitals. Israel allowed some fuel deliveries and paused fighting in areas to ease aid flow. But the UN warns that without full land access, famine remains a growing threat to Gaza's 2.2 million people. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
