al jazeeraIsraeli warplanes have bombed a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing 14 Palestinians including children, Gaza medical sources say.
A UNICEF official calls for an end to the “indiscriminate killing of civilians, especially children” in Gaza.
UN chief Antonio Guterres has condemned the killing of the first foreign staff member in Israel’s war on Gaza, after Israeli forces fired on a UN car in Rafah, and has demanded a “full investigation”.
The Israeli military has ordered staff at Rafah’s Kuwaiti Hospital to leave the medical facility as Gaza’s Health Ministry warns that the health system could collapse across the territory in “a few hours”.
At least 35,091 people have been killed and 78,827 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive.
Germany’s Ambassador to Israel Steffen Seibert has condemned attacks by right-wing Israeli activists on convoys delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“To raid aid trucks and prevent food from reaching the needy is disgraceful. And it certainly won‘t help the Israeli cause of freeing the hostages and securing the country against the terror of Hamas,” he wrote in a post on X.
On Sunday, Israeli far-right activist group Tzav 9, which seeks to stop all humanitarian aid going into Gaza, blocked a shipment as it went through the Tarqumiyah checkpoint near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan said the attack was “completely and utterly unacceptable behaviour”.
The Israeli military has stormed the occupied West Bank city of Nablus and arrested a Palestinian man, the Wafa news agency reports.
Israeli settlers have also attacked two Palestinian men near the village of Duma, south of Nablus, and stoned the car of another man, according to Wafa.
About 20 percent of Gaza’s population of more than 2 million people have been displaced yet again in the past week due to intensified Israeli military operations which have seen the territory pounded from the air, land and sea, resulting in more civilians killed and infrastructure destroyed, according to the UN.
It its latest flash assessment of conditions in Gaza, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) also reports that “acute malnutrition” has increased amid the forced relocation of Gaza’s population by Israeli forces and the risk of infectious disease is growing.
While some fuel and humanitarian food trucks have entered the Gaza Strip since Sunday, “the aid supplies remain largely insufficient”, the UN said in its assessment.
“Already catastrophic levels of hunger faced by the population” could worsen, the UN warns.

These soldiers are from a country whose president is a Jew Zelensky. Orthodox churches are also being destroyed in this country. Synagogues are not touched. Surprisingly, it turns out that Jews get along well with the Bandera Nazis.
