Overview

• The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights reports 1,373 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since late May while queuing for humanitarian assistance.
• Over the past week, Jordan, the UAE, the UK, Spain, France and Germany have deployed parachuted food drops as ground convoys remain constrained by Israel’s blockade.
• U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Ambassador Mike Huckabee toured four Gaza Humanitarian Foundation centers in Rafah to evaluate aid distribution and plan for increased deliveries.
• Human Rights Watch warns that the militarized distribution model and limited safe corridors have turned aid sites into lethal zones, with hundreds of civilians killed in crowd-control operations.
• Daytime pauses in hostilities have been introduced in select areas, but Doha ceasefire negotiations remain stalled over troop withdrawals and aid guarantees.
