• The UN reported that in 36 confirmed Israeli strikes since March 18, all fatalities were women and children, highlighting the disproportionate impact on civilians.
• Israeli military operations have intensified since the collapse of a two-month ceasefire on March 18, with over 1,500 Palestinians killed in renewed strikes.
• UN officials raised alarms over expanding Israeli evacuation orders, which they say amount to forcible transfers and exacerbate unsafe living conditions for displaced Palestinians.
