  • Israeli forces have expanded military operations, targeting residential towers and public facilities across Rafah with F-16 aircraft and attack drones.
  • Some 110,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah, according to the UNRWA, since Israel began advancing troops towards the east of Rafah and intensifying attacks on the city on Monday.
  • The Israeli army takeover of the Rafah border crossing has shut down the entry of aid into Gaza for the past three days, “completely crippling humanitarian operations” as famine spreads, the UN says.
  • At least 34,904 people have been killed and 78,514 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139 with dozens of people still held captive.
