- We cannot respond to distress calls from people under siege in Beit Lahiya.
- An elderly man has died of starvation in the northern Gaza Strip.
- “We are still under a severe siege that does not allow the entry of anything, no medicine, no crews, no food, no ambulances and no civil defence service.
- Yesterday, Tuesday, I received a distress call from the Kahlout family after their house was targeted, and unfortunately we cannot do anything. Whoever survived, survived, and whoever remained, unfortunately, became a martyr.
- We currently have … six very critical cases in intensive care, and unfortunately, cases of malnutrition have begun to arrive since yesterday.
- Seventeen children came to the emergency room with signs of malnutrition.
