Evening recap
Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.
Here are the day’s key developments:
The death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza has climbed to 63,371 since 7 October 2023, with an additional 159,835 Palestinians wounded.
Hospitals in Gaza report that at least 77 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the enclave since dawn.
Gaza has become the “most dangerous place in the world for children”, Unicef spokesperson Tess Ingram told Al Jazeera, warning that the territory has transformed into a place where their lives are being destroyed.
Ingram noted that a Palestinian child is killed or wounded every 10 minutes, stressing that the only way to end the “killing and maiming of children is a ceasefire”.
Israel’s decision to halt humanitarian pauses in Gaza City is making it “even harder” to deliver desperately needed aid, Chris McIntosh, Oxfam’s humanitarian response adviser, told Al Jazeera.
The European Union (EU) has called on the US to reconsider its decision to deny visas to Palestinian officials ahead of the United Nations General Assembly next month.
Yemen’s Houthis announced on Saturday that Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several senior officials from the movement were killed in an Israeli air strike targeting a meeting in the capital Sanaa.
The Israeli army claimed a reservist was killed in a friendly fire incident in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, bringing the number of confirmed military deaths since the start of the war to 900.
