Gaza’s death toll rises

At least 37,164 people have been killed and 84,832 wounded in Israeli military attacks on Gaza since October 7, the enclave’s Health Ministry says.

Of them, 40 Palestinians were killed and 120 wounded in the past 24 hours, the ministry added.


Three killed in Rafah

Rescuers have found the bodies of three people killed in Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan neighbourhood, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report.

Two people were also injured by Israeli shelling in central Gaza’s Maghazi’s camp, according to their report.


Israeli forces say military operation in central Gaza ends

The Israeli forces have announced the end of their military operation in the central Gaza Strip, about six days after its launch.

On June 5, the Israeli army announced that the 98th Division had begun an operation east of Bureij refugee camp and east of Deir el-Balah in the central governorate of Gaza.

During the operation, Israeli forces rescued four captives on Saturday in the Nuseirat refugee camp – in the process killing more than 270 Palestinians and wounding 700 others. Hamas said three other captives were also killed in the operation.


Fewer than 100,000 people left in Rafah: UNRWA

More than month after Israeli forces began operating in Rafah, which was previously Gaza’s main declared safe zone, almost all displaced people have fled the area, leaving fewer than 100,000 still left, according to the UNRWA.

As a result, there are now 1.7 million displaced people in Gaza – more than 70 percent of the population – with many of the displaced having been forced to move multiple times, the UNRWA said in its latest situation update.
