Overview

• Israeli forces and drones killed at least 51 Palestinians, including aid seekers, on Wednesday and brought the total deaths near GHF hubs to at least 516 since late May.
• Gaza’s civil defence and health ministry report that the 21-month conflict has claimed over 56,000 lives, with more than half of the dead being women and children.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation denies responsibility for the shootings even as UNRWA’s head labels its private distribution system a “death trap” that degrades desperate civilians.
• The U.S. has committed $30 million to GHF operations, drawing criticism from UN agencies and aid groups over alleged weaponisation of food supplies.
• Qatar’s prime minister said indirect ceasefire talks could begin within days and President Trump said “great progress” was being made, though no agreement has been formalized yet.
