      Israeli forces have surrounded al-Amal and Nasser hospitals in southern Gaza, while in the north, soldiers are continuing a deadly, weeklong raid on al-Shifa Medical Complex.

      At least nine Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on Deir el-Balah, our correspondent reported, with several people remaining trapped under rubble.

      Israel has informed the United Nations it will no longer approve UNRWA food convoys to north Gaza, where 70 percent of people face an extreme level of food scarcity.

      Mediation efforts to end the bloodshed in Gaza appear to be struggling, with a Hamas official telling Al Jazeera that Israeli negotiators have rejected their latest proposals for a ceasefire.

      At least 32,226 Palestinians have been killed and 74,518 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139, with dozens taken captive.
