Overview

  • Gaza’s civil defence agency reported that Israeli forces killed 31 Palestinians waiting for aid near the Netzarim corridor on Friday and dozens more in separate strikes across southern and central Gaza.
  • Medical teams at al-Rantisi Hospital and the Nasser Medical Complex warned that critical shortages of baby formula and essential medicines are threatening infant survival.
  • The US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has struggled with chaotic crowds and violent scenes at its sites, prompting UN agencies and major aid groups to boycott its operations over concerns it serves military objectives.
  • The World Food Programme said it has delivered only 9,000 tonnes of food aid into Gaza over the past four weeks, a tiny fraction of the amount needed to feed 2.1 million people.
  • Since October 2023, more than 55,700 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict and the West Bank is experiencing renewed Israeli raids, arrests and restrictions on movement.
