Overview

• The Israel Defense Forces and COGAT received approval to seize Gaza City and prepare to move residents south under emergency orders calling up to 100,000 reservists.
• Recent bombardment has intensified in Gaza City, with strikes on al-Shifa and Al-Aqsa hospitals and fire on emergency vehicles hampering rescue efforts.
• The UN human rights office reports at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since May 27, including hundreds near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites.
• UNRWA warns that roughly 21.5% of young children in Gaza City are malnourished as only about one-sixth of the 600 daily aid trucks needed enter the territory.
• France, Britain, Canada and Australia announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state in criticism of the assault plan, and families of Israeli hostages have called for a nationwide day of stoppage to demand a ceasefire and hostage returns.
