Overview

  • Overnight strikes hit tents in Asdaa, Khan Younis, killing 17 people including six children, and a drone strike on a house in Maghazi killed two, according to hospital sources cited by Wafa.
  • The previous day saw at least 65 fatalities across the enclave, with 36 reported in Gaza City and 12 killed in a strike on a school sheltering displaced people, according to medical sources and Wafa.
  • The United Nations formally declared famine in northern Gaza, as aid restrictions and widespread displacement leave large populations facing acute hunger.
  • Hospitals are overwhelmed, with the UN warning that nearly 40% of inpatient capacity is in Gaza City and southern facilities reporting bed occupancy up to 300%.
  • Israel has called up 60,000 reservists and approved a military plan for Gaza, while Hamas has reportedly accepted a 60‑day truce framework with phased hostage releases that Israel disputes.
