July deadliest month in Gaza in more than a year: Aid organisation
In Gaza, one person has been killed by Israeli forces every 12 minutes this month, according to data compiled by Islamic Relief.
With an average of 119 Palestinians killed daily, July has become the deadliest month since January 2024.
“The rate of killing is accelerating every day that world leaders fail to act,” Waseem Ahmad, chief executive of Islamic Relief Worldwide, said in a statement. “We are witnessing people massacred just for trying to get food, water or medicine. We’re seeing babies and young children starve to death because Israel is blocking humanitarian aid.”

Intimidation and fear: Israeli attacks continue across the Gaza Strip
There have been more deaths reported from the northern part of Gaza near the distribution centre at Zikim crossing.
As many as 30 trucks were scheduled to enter, but only five were allowed in by the Israeli military. Thousands of people gathered there, and the Israeli military opened fire on them.
Meanwhile, Israeli air strikes continue to target residential clusters in the eastern part of Gaza City, particularly the Zeitoun neighbourhood, where drone strikes targeted a group of people.
The Israeli military earlier announced it concluded its military assault in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. But many Palestinians are unable to go back to their homes as they are in the firing line of heavy artillery.
Quadcopters and surveillance drones also hover over the area, creating an atmosphere of intimidation and fear, preventing people forced into displacement from returning to their homes, which have largely been destroyed or severely damaged.
