Reports emerging from Gaza this evening paint a grim picture. At least 44 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks today, a significant portion – 22 – amongst those attempting to access desperately needed humanitarian aid.

The situation is worsening. Six more Gazans have died from starvation and malnutrition, bringing the confirmed total to 175, including 93 children. The UN estimates overall casualties at 60,839 killed and 149,588 wounded since the conflict began.

A young Palestinian boy was shot dead while searching for food at a controversial aid distribution point, sparking calls for answers from his family. The scale of the crisis continues to unfold – Al Jazeera reports on the escalating civilian toll.

Meanwhile, far-right Israeli minister Ben-Gvir’s actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque have drawn condemnation both internationally and from Jordan, who oversee the site.

It’s worth noting that a concerning report indicates that Israeli military probes into alleged war crimes have yielded no findings in 88% of cases since October 2023.
