Overview

  • The Israeli military retrieved the body of Thai national Nattapong Pinta from Rafah, confirming he was killed in captivity by the Mujahedeen Brigades and notifying his family.
  • The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation suspended all food distributions after reporting direct threats from Hamas against its aid convoys.
  • Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on June 7 killed at least 50 Palestinians, including families in Gaza City and displaced camps in the south, according to local health authorities.
  • Fuel reserves in Gaza hospitals have fallen to just three days’ worth, jeopardizing patient care as the last functional facilities near collapse.
  • Since the war began on October 7, 2023, over 54,000 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced, deepening international calls for a ceasefire.
