Overview

• Health officials reported at least 31 to more than 40 people killed in overnight strikes in Gaza City and the Bureij camp, including women and children, with many bodies taken to Shifa Hospital.
• WHO and Gaza health leaders warned that major hospitals such as Al Shifa and Al Ahli are on the brink of collapse, with patients on floors, critical shortages, and fuel threats to oxygen and ambulance services.
• Israeli tanks pushed deeper into Gaza City, including toward Tel Al-Hawa, as the military urged evacuations south and opened temporary corridors while offering no timeline for the ongoing operation.
• The Israeli military said it killed Majed Abu Selmiya, alleging he was a Hamas sniper, a claim disputed by Shifa’s director and brother of the deceased, who cited his sibling’s medical conditions.
• Australia, Canada and the UK announced recognition of Palestinian statehood on Sunday and other European countries signaled similar steps, as UNICEF reported therapeutic food for malnourished children was stolen from four of its trucks in Gaza City.
