Overview

  • Amnesty International accused Israel of executing a deliberate starvation campaign in Gaza, citing interviews with displaced residents and medical staff that describe systematic destruction of civilian well-being.
  • New Channel 12 broadcasts feature former Israeli military intelligence chief Aharon Haliva stating that for every person killed on October 7, fifty Palestinians must die, including children.
  • The UN reports record levels of acute malnutrition among children in Gaza and at least 1,760 people killed seeking aid since late May, warning the enclave faces famine.
  • Marah Abu Zuhri, a 20-year-old Palestinian evacuated to Italy for severe malnutrition, died in a Pisa hospital, underscoring the critical healthcare and nutrition crisis.
  • Hundreds of Palestinian families have begun leaving eastern Gaza City after Israel approved plans for a ground offensive and civilian relocation to the south.
