Overview

• Indirect negotiations in Doha are deadlocked after Hamas rejected Israeli withdrawal maps that would leave about 40% of Gaza under occupation, including southern Rafah.
• Israel insists it will only agree to a ceasefire once all hostages are released and Hamas disarms under the phased 60-day truce proposal.
• At least 31 Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli fire while en route to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid site near Rafah, with UN figures showing 798 aid seekers killed since late May.
• Gaza’s civil defence agency reported more than 30 Palestinians, including children at a water distribution point, were killed in overnight Israeli airstrikes.
• United Nations agencies warn that critical fuel shortages now jeopardize aid deliveries and hospital services; Gaza’s media office reports 67 child deaths from malnutrition and 650,000 under-five children at acute risk.
