- At least 76 Palestinians have been killed and more than 200 wounded since midnight on Friday as Israel has kept up its attacks across Gaza, including a strike on a house near Khan Younis which killed eight people, including seven children.
- UN chief Antonio Guterres has said the limited aid that Israel has allowed into Gaza amounts to a “teaspoon” of what’s needed, as he called for “rapid, reliable, safe and sustained aid access”.
- Echoing Guterres, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has said the aid trickling into Gaza is “a needle in a haystack” and families are being starved in the Palestinian enclave.
- The World Food Programme has said 15 aid trucks were looted on Friday night in southern Gaza as “hunger, desperation and anxiety” fuel rising insecurity.
- The World Health Organization has said at least 94 percent of Gaza’s hospitals have been damaged or destroyed during Israel’s war on the enclave.
