Infant dies of malnutrition in Gaza’s Khan Younis

Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city reports that an infant has died due to malnutrition and inadequate medical treatment. They are among dozens of children to die of malnutrition this year in Gaza, as Israel severely restricts food and medical aid from entering.

Last week, the enclave’s Health Ministry reported that 440 people, including 147 children, had died of starvation or malnutrition during the war.

Gaza death toll rises

At least 77 Palestinians, including six aid seekers, have been killed and 379 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. Two bodies have also been recovered from the rubble of the previous Israeli attacks, the ministry added.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 66,005 Palestinians and injured 168,162 since October 7, 2023, the ministry said.

Remotely detonated explosives target residential blocks in Gaza City

The Israel military is using remotely detonated explosive vehicles to target residential areas, attacking entire blocks and neighbourhoods.

It started in the northern part of the Strip – Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon. Now, we’re seeing it in Gaza City, especially Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood. That’s why most Palestinians have been forced to evacuate the area.

The destruction [from these remotely detonated explosive devices] is huge. When one explodes in Gaza City, it can be heard all the way in az-Zawayda or Deir el-Balah. In addition, Palestinians have told us that Israeli forces are using artillery shelling, air raids and quadcopters.

What is being destroyed now is infrastructure, residences, hospitals and public schools – this is what Israel is actually targeting.

Israeli tanks push deeper into Gaza City residential areas

Israeli tanks have been seen pushing deeper into Gaza City neighbourhoods, according to witnesses cited by Reuters. The incursions were carried out into the Sabra, Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Radwan and Nassr, they said.

‘Lives at stake’: Gaza official urges international action against Israeli fuel blockade

Gaza’s rescue services face imminent collapse as Israeli forces deliberately obstruct fuel deliveries to rescue operations, a Civil Defence official says.

“The occupation is placing us in a renewed crisis that is costing lives,” said Mohammed al-Mughair, director of humanitarian support and international relations at Civil Defence.

Al-Mughair accused Israeli forces of “deliberately disrupting the humanitarian services we provide to citizens” by preventing fuel supplies for rescue and firefighting vehicles in northern Gaza.

“The fuel we have is barely enough to operate our vehicles for a limited number of missions, which may not exceed this week,” he warned.

The official called for urgent international intervention to “save the lives of thousands of civilians by pressuring the Israeli occupation to allow fuel to be delivered to humanitarian organisations”.

‘We see you. We hear you’: The Italian people made us smile in Gaza

Last Monday, I was out in the street trying to catch an internet signal in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip – something that has become almost impossible in Gaza. Our home had just been bombed for the third time during the war, and we had been forced to flee for the 10th time. I had just lost everything once again.

My heart was heavy with grief, and everything around me reminded me of the loss that had befallen us.

When I finally managed to connect, videos, photos and audio messages from Italy flooded my phone. I saw crowds of people marching in the streets, waving Palestinian flags and chanting together for our freedom. I saw squares filled with banners reading, “Stop the War” and “Free Palestine,” and faces showing a mix of anger and hope. They were trying to send us a message: We hear you. We stand with you.

I felt immense joy.

High morale on board Gaza-bound flotilla as journey nears critical stage

Al Jazeera’s Younes Ait Yassine, on board one of the vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla, says the morale is high as the group is less than five days from reaching Gaza.

“This mission has faced many challenges, setbacks, threats and attacks. The biggest one happened four days ago when dozens of drones, believed to be Israeli drones, attacked several of our boats, disabled one and damaged at least three,” he said.

One of the vessels also suffered an engine failure, and the crew were distributed across other vessels, he added.

On Saturday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thousand Madleens to Gaza launched a 10-boat flotilla departing from Catania, southern Italy. It includes 70 people from more than 20 countries.

Two additional boats departed from Turkiye and one from Cyprus, and “they are supposed to rendezvous sometime later in the Mediterranean Sea and head together to Gaza,” said Yassine.

Israeli army flattens multistorey building in Gaza City

The Israeli army has said it hit a multistorey building in Gaza City.

The statement comes less than an hour after the army issued a forced displacement order for residents of Gaza City’s Remal and Sabra neighbourhoods, as well as the port area and parts of Beirut Street.

Areas where missing Israeli captives held hit with ‘relentless bombardment’ in recent days

Reading this Qassam Brigades statement, we can sense the seriousness and the severity of the situation.

It has a clear demand. That’s for the Israeli army to stop attacks on the Sabra and Tal al-Hawa neighbourhoods of Gaza City and to withdraw from the area, so they can search for the captives who have gone missing because they’ve lost contact with their guards.

These Israeli attacks are massive, they’re relentless, they eventually decimate entire areas. They’re a mix of heavy artillery, drone strikes, quake bombs that are dropped on areas and destroy the very foundations of buildings.

The risk that those captives have gone missing under rubble is very high, given that that area has been subjected to relentless bombardment in recent days.

Captive’s father urges Netanyahu to stop war

As we reported earlier, Hamas said it lost contact with two Israeli captives in Gaza and asked the Israeli army to pull troops back and suspend air raids for 24 hours so its fighters could retrieve them.

Now, Israeli media are quoting the father of one of the captives, Matan Enrist, calling on Netanyahu to stop the war.

“My son is in constant danger, and we call on Netanyahu to stop the fighting.”

UNRWA chief says schools in Gaza ‘completely destroyed’

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that schools in Gaza have been “completely destroyed” as people are forced to live among the rubble, with daily survival focused on finding food and water.

“Gaza schools have been completely destroyed, people are living in the rubble, the main concern on a daily basis is finding food and water,” Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of UNRWA, said in a video posted on X.

Despite the widespread destruction, Lazzarini stressed that the agency continues to operate. “Our schools are open, our health centres are running, and we continue to deliver critical services to the population,” he said.

JD Vance ‘cautiously hopeful’ over Arab leaders’ peace talks with US officials

US Vice President JD Vance has expressed cautious optimism over a peace deal being discussed between Arab and Muslim leaders and US officials in recent days.

“I feel more optimistic about where we are right now than where we have been at any point in the last few months,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News. “But let’s be realistic – these things can get derailed at the very last minute. So while I remain very hopeful, I am cautiously hopeful.”

Vance added that a deal would achieve three goals: all captives returned, Hamas no longer a threat to Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza.

“I think we’re close to accomplishing all three of those objectives.”

Earlier today, Hamas said it had not yet received a new proposal to end the war.

Pakistan’s PM hopeful after Trump talks on Gaza

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed hope for “encouraging” outcomes from Trump’s recent meeting with Muslim leaders when he discussed how to end Israel’s war on Gaza.

“We fully participated in the meeting on Gaza, and God willing, its encouraging results will come out soon,” Sharif said in London. According to Radio Pakistan, Sharif said Pakistan was also part of Trump-led efforts to bring peace to Palestine and end “oppression against the people of Gaza”.

Trump’s meeting with Muslim leaders took place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. It reportedly brought together leaders from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Turkiye and Indonesia.

Jordan’s king says there is consensus around much of Trump’s Gaza plan

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has expressed optimism about a proposal by Trump to end the Gaza war, saying many of its details align with “what has been agreed upon”.

Abdullah’s comments, reported by Jordan’s state news agency, did not go into detail on the content of the plan.

Why is the divisive Tony Blair now touted for post-Gaza war interim role?

Tony Blair, who was British prime minister during the 2003 United States-led invasion and occupation of Iraq based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction, and is regarded by many in the Arab world and in the United Kingdom as a “war criminal”, has helped develop “day after” plans for Israel’s war on Gaza.

The highly divisive figure is envisaged in United States President Donald Trump’s 21-point plan presented to Arab and Muslim leaders to become the de facto governor-general of the besieged and bombarded enclave after Hamas is pushed out, according to Israeli and Western media reports.

Some reports say Blair’s ultimate role is not finalised, but the outlines are clear.

Here’s a look at Trump’s plan, what we know about Blair’s role, and what it would mean for everyone involved if it were all to go ahead.

• The plan wants all 48 captives still held in Gaza to be released immediately, in exchange for allowing entry of humanitarian aid, freezing battle lines, and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli military jails.

• The plan would also see Hamas disarm, offer fighters who renounce violence amnesty, and allow others who refuse to leave Gaza.

• Crucially, it specifies that no Palestinians will be forced to leave their territory, and says anyone who leaves “voluntarily” will be allowed to return to their homes.

The US and Israel reportedly wish to keep the notorious GHF, the humanitarian organisation they founded to push aside the United Nations and other international aid agencies delivering aid to Palestinians on the ground. Many hundreds of famine-stricken people, including children, have been shot by Israeli soldiers and US mercenaries operating at GHF sites.

Israeli figures and a US consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), have been linked with the GHF and the Gaza Riviera plans. In a response to a UK parliamentary committee inquiry published in late July, BCG said an investigation it commissioned found that some of its US-based staff sidestepped its risk controls to do work related to GHF and to “post-war reconstruction” for the Palestinian enclave.

Trump’s plan to broker a grand bargain has been presented to the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia and Turkiye on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

But as the Israeli military continues to systematically destroy and seize Gaza City and starve Palestinians in Gaza while advancing with a vision to annex the occupied West Bank, the plan appears to be provisional at best. Neither Israel nor Hamas has officially commented on it.


Where does Blair fit in?

The former UK prime minister, who fervently backed then-US President George W Bush in invading Iraq, is reportedly involved through his Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, which claims it wants to “turn bold ideas into reality”.

Trump’s plan reportedly considers appointing him as the head of a newly established entity called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), which would administer Gaza after Hamas is ousted for a transition period of up to several years.

GITA would seek a UN mandate, something Arab states have emphasised they will require, and would also initially sideline the Palestinian Authority (PA) – as Israel continues to say it will not allow the PA to have a future governance role.

The PA is urged to engage in serious reforms, get a revised constitution and hold elections for a new president and parliament before taking over from GITA, which will oversee the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave.

An international stabilisation force, largely drawn from Arab and Muslim countries, would be deployed to provide security and train a new Palestinian security force in Gaza.

Prabowo Subianto, the president of Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population, told the UNGA he was ready to send in thousands of peacekeeping forces, and ended his speech with “shalom”.

Why is this hugely controversial?

To this day, critics in the Middle East and the UK brand Blair a “war criminal”, and he remains a toxic figure in some quarters.

Palestinian commentators have also said Blair failed them as peace envoy despite the quintessential British role in the conflict stretching over a century. They have argued that while he oversaw economic projects during his tenure, he did little to halt illegal Israeli settlement expansion and settler violence, or advance Palestinian statehood, with some even accusing him of impeding statehood as a friend of Israel.

Blair continues to be a polarising figure in domestic British politics as well, as his popularity vastly plummeted following the Iraq invasion. His involvement in determining the future of Gaza has been met with shock and scepticism among some commentators.

Once it was clear that Satan was fully occupied elsewhere Tony Blair was the obvious choice to govern Gaza for Trump and Netanyahu.

Yeah this will be worse than the so called 'ceasefire' in Lebanon. A lot more is needed to end the genocide, occupation and apartheid, as well as stop Israel from terrorizing and bombing their neighbors. 

Draft of peace deal reveals Arab leaders’ influence

It seems like the meeting between a number of Arab leaders and President Trump led to something because the original plan that was drafted apparently did not work for the Arab leaders.

So they weighed in and changed a number of things. The last draft that I’ve seen seems to reflect a bit more of Arab influence or Palestinian influence, which is reflected in two or three important points.

The immediate one is that Gaza will be developed for its own residents, that aid will be flowing in as it was before October 7 [2023] through UN agencies and not that infamous GHF. Three, for the first time I think, Trump is talking seriously about the Palestinian state.

Where is that Palestinian state? Will it be sovereign? Will it include Gaza and the West Bank and East Jerusalem? None of that is mentioned there, but there are a number of elements to the liking of those other participants who want to see a pathway to a Palestinian state.

Israel shells Gaza City hospital treating premature babies

The Israeli army shelled Al Helou Hospital in Gaza City, hitting the facility with two artillery rounds, according to medical sources cited by the Wafa news agency.

The hospital’s departments include a cancer ward and a neonatal unit where 12 premature babies are being cared for.

Medical staff told Wafa that more than 90 people – doctors, nurses and patients – remain trapped inside the hospital. Israeli tanks have surrounded the facility, blocking both the entry and exit.

The attack is the latest in a series of strikes on Gaza’s already decimated healthcare system, where hospitals continue to be besieged, targeted and deprived of essential medical supplies.

‘Horrific scenes’ inside al-Shifa as patients flee under Israeli fire

Doctors inside al-Shifa Hospital have described “horrific scenes” as many patients are forced to flee despite needing urgent care.

According to testimonies obtained by researchers at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, the Israeli army used fire belts, which are incendiary weapons that cause flames to rise across a strip of land, and deployed explosive-laden vehicles around the hospital as military units advanced from the northern and eastern sides of the hospital.

Medical staff said the bombardments led to the suspension of many procedures as doctors and nurses could not reach the hospital and some were killed in the attacks.

Dr Hasan al-Sha’ir, the medical director of al-Shifa, told researchers that staff continued working “despite the harsh conditions and overwhelming fear”, recalling earlier sieges of the hospital when Israeli forces killed and arrested medical personnel.

He said at least 100 patients are currently receiving treatment in “extremely difficult circumstances” with shortages of life-saving drugs and medical equipment.

Palestinians in Nuseirat struggle without water, basic necessities

We’re here in the western parts of Nuseirat, where Palestinians who were forced to evacuate from Gaza City came and set up their tents. But those Palestinians are now saying that they don’t have any of the basic necessities.

People here are saying that they have not been receiving any water for the past week. They have been calling and appealing for organisations to have a water truck daily. They’re saying they have not been able to get clean water to drink or cook.

Palestinians came all the way from Gaza City to the western parts of Nuseirat after they went to al-Mawasi, Deir el-Balah, az-Zawayda, and did not find any space to set up their tents.

They came without any of their belongings. Most of them walked here, but they did not have any choice other than escaping death and air strikes, and now they are suffering.

Netanyahu says working on ceasefire plan on eve of meeting with Trump

On the eve of meeting President Trump, Netanyahu said that Israel is working on a new ceasefire plan with the White House, but details are still being sorted out.

In Monday’s White House meeting, Trump is expected to share a new proposal for ending the conflict.

“We’re working on it,” Netanyahu said. “It’s not been finalised yet, but we’re working with President Trump’s team, actually, as we speak, and I hope we can – we can make it a go.”

Arab officials briefed on the plan say the 21-point proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all captives within 48 hours, and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Snipers, Drones, Starvation: Israel’s Child Killing Machine: Systematic Targeting of Gaza’s Children

Children in Gaza are being systematically targeted by Israeli snipers and drones. Independent investigations and medical testimony reveal a disturbing pattern: quadcopter drones and snipers shooting children in schoolyards and “safe corridors,” deliberate deprivation of baby formula and a food distribution system designed to fail. This video examines evidence from doctors, journalists and human-rights monitors showing how drones, snipers and starvation are being used to kill Palestinian children and infants.
