🇵🇸 *PALESTINE UPDATES*
*Here are the latest developments:*
◾ Israeli attacks have continued across Gaza, killing at least 31 people today, according to local medical sources.
◾ Victims include at least 14 people killed by gunfire at aid sites in Rafah and central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor, local hospitals report. One man who was injured at the Rafah site, Adham Dahman, described the incident as a “trap” for desperately hungry Palestinians.
◾ Israel’s defence minister has ordered the military to stop the Madleen – a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship – from reaching the enclave.
◾ Israel’s military claims to have killed a Hamas member in southern Syria, days after it carried out its first air raids on the country in nearly a month.
◾ The director of al-Shifa Hospital told Al Jazeera that, we are only a few hours away from closing the hospital if we don’t get fuel. Three hundred kidney failure patients are at risk if they do not receive dialysis.
◾ The Government Media Office in Gaza has rejected Israeli claims of a “resistance tunnel” beneath the European Gaza Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, calling the allegations “fabricated, flawed and full of loopholes”.
◾ Families in Gaza are facing an acute shortage, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has highlighted. “A consistent flow of essential supplies – including diapers, soap and wipes – is critical for children’s survival and health,” UNRWA posted on X. “A standard flow of humanitarian supplies also for babies in Gaza must be restored.”
◾ Hamas has confirmed that the secretary-general of the Mujahideen movement, Sheikh Asaad Abu Sharia, was killed in an Israeli attack on the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City.
◾ Thousands of volunteers will set off from several cities in Tunisia towards the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, demanding entrance, the Wafa news agency reports. The convoy includes at least 7,000 people, an organiser told Wafa.
