Overview

  • Eleven additional bodies were recovered in Jabalia, bringing the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on a single house to 23 people.
  • Israeli military actions have destroyed dozens of civilian vehicles, including rescue equipment, citing potential misuse by Hamas, further crippling relief efforts.
  • Over 1,978 Palestinians have died and hundreds of thousands have been displaced since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, ending a two-month ceasefire.
  • Israel's Chief of Staff warned of a 'more extensive' offensive if Hamas does not release hostages taken during its October 2023 attack.
  • International calls for unimpeded humanitarian aid grow as Gaza endures a total blockade, described by NGOs as one of the worst humanitarian crises of this generation.
