  • Gaza’s health ministry said seven more people died from malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing total malnutrition deaths to 93 children and 76 adults since late June.
  • US special envoy Steve Witkoff toured GHF distribution centers and joined hostage relatives at a Tel Aviv protest after Doha talks collapsed to advocate for their release.
  • Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad released videos this week showing captives Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski emaciated, intensifying calls for a hostage deal.
  • Hamas has cut off communication with mediators and insists that ceasefire negotiations will resume only after Gaza’s hunger crisis is addressed.
