Overview

  • Israel’s Security Cabinet has approved a plan to transition from targeted raids to a sustained occupation of Gaza, aimed at defeating or disarming Hamas.
  • The plan includes holding territories in Gaza and relocating civilians southward, with 69% of Gaza now in buffer zones or under evacuation orders, according to the UN.
  • UNICEF reports over 9,000 children in Gaza have been admitted for acute malnutrition this year, with widespread famine as UN food stocks have been fully depleted.
  • Families of 59 Israeli hostages in Gaza warn that expanded military operations put their loved ones in greater danger, urging the government to prioritize their safe return.
  • Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have condemned the blockade as collective punishment, with accusations of potential genocide as humanitarian conditions deteriorate.
