At least 38 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in the past 24 hours, and one body has been recovered from the rubble, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
The UN’s humanitarian agency, OCHA, has said 142,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced since Israel resumed its war on Gaza on March.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,183 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 113,828 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that 11 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli drone strikes on tents housing displaced people, as well as a charity food bank in the centre of the Gaza Strip.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
The US continues its bombardment of Yemen, as top officials face scrutiny for sharing military plans with a journalist in a group chat on the Signal messaging app.
WATCH: What Palestinians in Gaza say about Israel’s ‘Migration Directorate’
Israel plans to establish a government agency to oversee the “voluntary departure” of Palestinians from Gaza, a move Palestinians have rejected and condemned as ethnic cleansing.
Health crisis looming at Israel’s Megiddo prison: Palestinian monitor
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has warned a health crisis is looming at Israel’s Megiddo prison “due to extremely unsanitary conditions”, causing scabies and other skin diseases to spread.
The statement comes two days after Israeli authorities announced the death of 17-year-old detainee Walid Ahmad. Defense for Children International said Ahmad suffered from scabies and amoebic dysentery and died after collapsing and hitting his head on a railing.
“Ahmad was one of hundreds of children who continue to be detained across three central prisons, specifically Megiddo, Ofer, and Damon prisons, where all Palestinian minors face similar conditions,” the PPS said.
“The occupation’s prison system deliberately deprives prisoners, including children and women, of the basic elements that could stop the spread of diseases,” it added, calling on the World Health Organization, humanitarian groups and governments to “intervene urgently”.
Israeli attacks have rendered Jenin refugee camp uninhabitable, official says
More than 3,250 housing units in the Jenin refugee camp have become uninhabitable due to Israel’s ongoing military offensive in the northern occupied West Bank, the Jenin municipal chief has said.
“The situation in Jenin camp is entirely catastrophic,” Mohammed Jarrar told the Anadolu news agency. “Israeli forces continue to demolish, bomb, and burn Palestinian homes.”
Jarrar said Israel rejected a Palestinian appeal against plans to raze 93 additional residential buildings, containing about 300 housing units.
“We expect the demolition could happen at any moment,” he warned, adding that such a move would deepen the humanitarian crisis in the camp.
He stressed that the camp’s entire infrastructure has been obliterated, rendering it “completely unfit for living” and in dire need of reconstruction after years of repeated Israeli operations.
The latest operations are part of a wider Israeli military campaign in the north of the occupied West Bank since January, which has killed more than 70 Palestinians and displaced thousands.
Lebanon opposes normalisation with Israel, plans to displace Palestinians
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said normalisation with Israel is rejected by all Lebanese, who also strongly oppose any plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
Speaking at the Grand Serail, Salam stressed the importance of mobilising Arab and international support for the reconstruction of Gaza, the report said. He said that a meeting with French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian focused on reconstruction efforts.
Salam also said that the international community and Arab nations had not exerted all possible pressure on Israel to halt its attacks.
