• UN Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenca told the UN Security Council that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reported push to occupy Gaza fully is “deeply alarming”. European Commission Vice President Teresa Ribera also described the plan as an “unacceptable provocation”.

Deaths due to famine, malnutrition nears 200 in Gaza: Health Ministry

The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported that five people have died due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours.

The latest death pushes the total number of Palestinians who have died from famine and malnutrition to 193, including 96 children.

The United Nations and aid agencies have repeatedly warned that the aid going into the enclave is minuscule and not nearly enough to alleviate the ongoing hunger crisis.

Israeli military hit UN clinic sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City

Reporting from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza Strip

There has been a devastating attack that took place in one of the central clinics run by the United Nations in Gaza City.

This clinic has been hit multiple times since the war began back in October 2023.

The Israeli military had issued evacuation warnings ahead of the strike. It has, until now, not commented on the main objective for striking the clinic.

Usually, Israel justifies attacks on UN-run aid, shelters, clinics, or any kind of facilities as a part of their ongoing efforts to completely eliminate Hamas operatives and destroy what they have called command and control centres, despite not providing evidence.

This clinic has turned into an evacuation and displacement centre for families.

Israel is working on shrinking the so-called safe spaces for Palestinian families, who have been squeezed into the western end of Gaza City, very close to the beach, as the entire Gaza Strip still witnesses a relentless military campaign.
