GAZA'S Health Ministry has recorded five deaths “due to famine and malnutrition” in the past 24 hours, including two children, bringing the total number of hunger-related deaths to 322, including 121 children.   

At least 51 Palestinians, including children and aid seekers, have been killed since dawn in Israeli attacks across Gaza, including several in the al-Mawasi area – a so-called “humanitarian zone” designated by Israel – in the south.

Israel has recovered the body of captive Ilan Weiss from the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli army, along with the belongings of someone believed to be another captive, whose identity has not yet been cleared for publication.    

Israel has killed at least 63,025 people and wounded 159,490 in its war on Gaza. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.
