Gaza death toll at 64,522: Health Ministry
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 65 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza and 320 wounded on Sunday, while two bodies were recovered from the rubble.
The ministry said the overall death toll from Israel’s war in Gaza has risen to 64,522, with 163,096 wounded.
At least 11,976 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and 51,055 have been injured since Gaza broke the ceasefire with Hamas on March 18, 2025.
The ministry said 14 aid seekers were killed and 85 were injured over the last 24 hours, bringing the total numbers to 2,430 aid seekers killed, at least 17,794 injured, and 49 missing.
Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in Gaza recorded six deaths due to famine and malnutrition, including two children, taking the total starvation deaths to 393, including 140 children.
Israel issues forced evacuation order for Gaza City building, tents
The Israeli military has released another map with a highlighted building and an adjacent tent area on Jamal Abdel Nasser Street in Gaza City, telling Palestinians in the area they could be killed if they do not immediately leave.
The Israeli army said it “will attack the building soon due to the presence of Hamas terrorist infrastructure inside it or adjacent to it”, without offering any evidence.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the target is a 17-storey commercial tower located across the street from a university complex in the heart of western Gaza City that houses clinics, beauty salons, educational centres, a gym and offices.
Israel told residents of the building and displaced people living in the tents around the area to go to the “humanitarian area” in al-Mawasi on Gaza’s southern coast, which it has repeatedly bombed since the start of the war.

‘Humanitarian zone’ in al-Mawasi overcrowded and frequently attacked: Journalist
As the occupation authorities in Gaza, Israeli forces are not only refusing to provide the population in al-Mawasi with the basic means of living but are also killing people in large numbers, displaced journalist Ahmed al-Najjar says.
He told Al Jazeera from what Israel has called a “humanitarian area” in al-Mawasi that an Israeli Apache helicopter was outside his tent earlier, hovering and shooting.
“That’s the reality that has been unfolding in al-Mawasi, where I, like hundreds of thousands of others, have been displaced and looking for anything relevant to the labelling of this so-called safe humanitarian zone,” he said.
Al-Najjar said he and his family have been displaced 14 times and have been living in al-Mawasi for 16 months.
The journalist said Palestinians in the area have only been experiencing more suffering and tragedy recently as food remains scarce and more people are displaced from the north and head to al-Mawasi.
“Our friends from the north keep calling us and asking for a few square metres of land so they can [put up] their tents,” he said, adding that his family barely found limited space for a tent themselves.
