Overview

• The UN Human Rights Office reports Israeli forces have killed 1,054 Palestinians at aid distribution sites since May as crowds sought food.
• Hospitals say 21 children died of malnutrition in 72 hours and at least 10 additional Gazans perished from hunger in the last 24 hours, raising July’s toll to 46.
• The World Food Programme warns nearly 100,000 women and children suffer severe acute malnutrition and that one-third of Gaza’s population endures days without eating.
• A coalition of over 100 humanitarian organizations has issued mass-hunger alerts, calling for open crossings, an immediate ceasefire and a return to UN-led relief after deadly clashes at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites.
• Israel maintains 950 aid trucks are in Gaza awaiting collection by international agencies but blames Hamas’s obstruction and security risks for stalled distributions.
