Israel denies entry of UK relief items to Gaza: MP
Rosena Allin-Khanm, a Labour member of the UK Parliament, says in a post on X that Israeli authorities have denied entry of a British shipment of water filters and solar lights to Gaza.
In October, the UK had said it had delivered essential supplies, including 76,800 wound care packs, 1,350 water filters and 2,560 solar lights “to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis” in the Gaza Strip.
I asked the Government what items of UK aid for Gaza have been denied entry by the Israeli Govt. Of them were 1,350 water filters, because apparently Israel says they are a 'threat'.
What threat does a water filter, supplied by the UK Government, have? pic.twitter.com/OY9SyPdkuB

Another journalist killed in Gaza: Media Office
“Journalist Mohamed Salama, broadcaster … on Al-Aqsa satellite channel … was killed in the bombing of a house in the city of Deir al-Balah,” the Government Media Office has said. The number of journalist killed in Gaza since the war began on October 7 has increased to 133, Gaza’s Government Media Office has said.
Journalists working in conflict areas are protected under international humanitarian law.
Palestinian journalists accuse Israel of repeatedly violating that law by targeting the media.
Children are dying of malnutrition in Gaza
Gaza’s Health Ministry says that 15 children have died of malnutrition in a single hospital in northern Gaza, in recent days.
Yet there are still people claiming it's not genocide. Starvation by design, crippling an entire generation on Palestinians, those that survive.
This never led to anything good, I fear for what Israel is planning to do during the outage
Network connectivity disrupted in Gaza: Watchdog
NetBlocks says there was a notably “high impact” to connectivity in southern Gaza. “The incident will be experienced as a near-total telecommunications outage by many residents, after months of overall decline since the start of the war,” it added.
Telecommunications have been partially or totally down in the Gaza Strip several times during the course of Israel’s war on the territory, making life harder for Palestinians enduring bombardment and deprivation to receive potentially life-saving information and contact loved ones outside of the Strip.
