Aid to Gaza, Sudan and other world crises is grinding to a halt as the war in the Middle East disrupts air, sea and land routes, ten aid officials have told Reuters.
The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has resulted in airspace closures and the halt of shipping through the critical Strait of Hormuz, which is effectively closed.
Life-saving goods for rapid regional deployment are stuck at warehouses in Dubai's Humanitarian Hub, and costs are soaring for helping the hundreds of millions suffering hunger.
“If we don't deliver goods from humanitarian cargo, the impact could be lives not saved. So we are really worried about the situation," said Cecile Terraz of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
On March 1 Jebel Ali, the region's largest container terminal, was set ablaze by the debris of an intercepted missile.
Massive donor cuts are already straining aid groups' budgets. Now they face soaring operational costs.
Costs for fuel, transportation and insurance are rising.
Shipping firms are demanding emergency surcharges of approximately $3,000 per container, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Tents, tarpaulins and lamps destined for Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank are stuck in the supply chain, the group said.
“We're particularly concerned about Africa," said UNHCR spokesperson Charlotte Wolf.
"Sudan is approaching very shortly the three-year mark of this terrible crisis, the largest displacement crisis in Africa. And of course, crises that are already extremely neglected and lacking immediate funding. And so this could be further exacerbated," said Wolf.
Jean-Martin Bauer, Director of Food Security at the U.N.'s World Food Program, said the war could increase the risk of hunger worldwide.
"And it's not just the cost, it's also the time. The time factor is quite critical here. We're talking about very important nodes in the global transportation network and the global supply chain network. And what will happen is that people in dire need of assistance will have to wait longer for food," said Bauer.
In a scathing critique, conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly exposes the mainstream media's blatant hostility toward President Trump, accusing outlets like ABC News of relentlessly negative coverage on the Iran conflict to undermine America's strength.
In a self-sacrificing strategic masterstroke, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton—a rock-solid Trump loyalist—has boldly offered to bow out of the Texas Senate race, but only if GOP Senate leadership axes the filibuster to ram through President Trump's game-changing Save America Act.

Pete Hegseth is urging Latin American governments to take a tougher stance against powerful drug cartels operating across the region.
Speaking in Miami at the first Americas Counter Cartel Conference, Hegseth warned that the Trump administration may take unilateral action if regional governments fail to confront criminal groups that threaten security along the U.S. border.
Officials from more than a dozen countries attended the meeting, including representatives from Argentina, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. The gathering focused on strengthening cooperation between the United States and Latin American partners to combat drug trafficking organizations responsible for smuggling narcotics, weapons and migrants across international borders.
U.S. officials say closer coordination and stronger enforcement efforts are necessary to disrupt cartel networks that have grown more sophisticated and violent in recent years.

On today’s show, Josh breaks down what “winning” in Iran could look like and what he believes the endgame of the current conflict may ultimately be. He discusses the ongoing strikes across the region, the continued missile attacks launched by Iran, and how the conflict is expanding as more countries become involved. Josh explains why, in his view, regime change in Iran may be desirable but is not necessarily required for the United States to declare victory.
Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Executive Director of Israel365 Action and a columnist for The Jerusalem Post, joins the show from Israel to share his perspective and describe what life is like on the ground as the strikes against Iran continue.
Josh also responds to criticism from some voices on the right — including Tucker Carlson — who have blamed Israel for the conflict, explaining why he believes those arguments risk fueling anti-Semitic sentiment.
To close the show, Josh discusses the heated moments during a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday regarding the fraud in Minnesota and why he believes the issue points to a broader problem facing the country.
