• Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, says “the entire population of Gaza is at risk of dying in a genocide that has been announced and executed under our watch.”
• Israeli forces bombed six buildings in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, killing at least 45 people, as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the United States to stop the “systematic extermination of an entire population” in the Palestinian enclave.
• Israeli forces also launched air raids on Beirut’s southern suburb after warning residents of several neighbourhoods to leave their homes.
• Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian mourned four soldiers killed in the wave of Israeli attacks across Iran on Saturday. Tehran insists the assault caused “limited damage”.

EU’s top diplomat calls for global action ‘to end human tragedy unfolding in Gaza’

Josep Borrell has issued a statement underscoring what he called “the urgent need to respect” international humanitarian law in Gaza.

“By signing the Geneva Conventions, signatories have a legal responsibility to ensure adherence to international law by all parties involved. It is our duty to protect civilians and human rights, and it is high time to act on it,” he said.

“The too little information coming out from North Gaza still attests to a catastrophic level of killing, destruction and starvation, in addition to forced displacements of civilians while an entire population is under bombings, siege and risk of starvation, as well as being forced to choose between displacement or death,” he said.

• MSF loses contact with surgeon during Israeli raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital

  Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it is “deeply concerned for the safety and whereabouts” of Dr Mohammed Obeid, an MSF orthopaedic surgeon, who was “sheltering and working in Kamal Adwan Hospital, northern Gaza”.

  In a post on X, MSF said it hadn’t been in contact with Obeid since Friday afternoon, following “intense military operations by Israeli forces” in the hospital and its surroundings.

  “We call for his safety and protection, as well as for all medical staff in Gaza,” MSF added.

  As we reported earlier, the World Health Organization said that Israeli authorities detained 44 male staff from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, leaving only female staff, the hospital director and one male doctor to care for 200 patients.
