Overview

  • At least 20 Palestinians were killed in a stampede and related violence at a US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid center in Khan Yunis, where eyewitnesses say contractors deployed tear gas.
  • The UN human rights office reports that 875 people have died trying to reach food at GHF distribution points since the foundation began operations in May.
  • The Gaza Ministry of Health tally stands at over 58,400 deaths and 139,000 injuries since October 2023, and UNRWA warns one in ten children now suffers from malnutrition.
  • UN rights monitors estimate 134,105 new war injuries in Gaza, with 25% requiring long-term rehabilitation and about ten children losing limbs every day.
  • Israeli forces have opened a new east-west military corridor through Khan Yunis, intensifying the fragmentation of Gaza’s territory and displacing civilians.
