Overview

• Two dozen Western countries urged Israel to reopen a medical corridor to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and offered funding, staff and equipment to restart evacuations and treatment on Palestinian territory.
• The joint statement also called on Israel to lift curbs on deliveries of medicines and medical equipment, with no immediate response from Israel, which has previously cited security concerns.
• The Palestinian Medical Relief Society said an Israeli strike destroyed its evacuated six‑story center in Tel al‑Hawa and reported additional facilities damaged or encircled, while the Israeli military did not immediately comment.
• Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 38 people killed and at least 190 injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the wartime totals to 65,382 killed and nearly 167,000 injured.
• WHO’s director-general condemned attacks on health facilities, and UNRWA reported health centers among premises hit this month, as hospitals such as Al‑Rantisi Children’s and the Specialized Eye Hospital were forced to shut due to nearby operations.
