- Israeli forces have killed at least 71 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including 42 starving people who were seeking food aid.
- Health authorities in Gaza say five more Palestinians have died of starvation in the past day, bringing the total death toll from hunger since Israel’s war began to 127, including 85 children.
- The Israeli government says it will allow “humanitarian pauses” in certain parts of Gaza on Sunday to facilitate aid deliveries, but experts say the plan will not address the starvation crisis gripping the territory.
- Israel’s military has also air dropped a small quantity of food aid into northern Gaza, as officials from the UN and humanitarian groups slam the scheme as inefficient, costly and dangerous.
- Israeli forces have stormed the Gaza-bound Handala ship, which was carrying aid to starving Palestinians. The fate of the 19 international activists and two Al Jazeera journalists are not known.
