    The Gaza Strip has seen a significant influx of humanitarian aid deliveries as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas holds, but it still “falls short of the ocean of needs” there, according to Al Jazeera’s team on the ground.

    Gaza’s Civil Defence says its crews recovered 66 more bodies from under the rubble across Gaza yesterday.

    Israeli settlers have carried out out attacks and acts of aggression across the occupied West Bank, while dozens of Palestinians have been arrested in military raids.

    Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,035 Palestinians and wounded 111,091 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.

    The ministry has also warned “against attempts to detonate the situation in the occupied West Bank, in search of justifications to copy the crimes of genocide and displacement committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, and transfer them to the West Bank”.

    Its statement denounced the “violent chaos” of the settlers’ “brutal attacks”.

    The ministry said it held the international community responsible for “its failure to fulfill its obligations towards our people” and demanded international sanctions on Israel and its settler organisations.

    It said it is working with humanitarian organisations to put international pressure on the Israeli government to ensure the settler attacks stop.

    Israeli drone, gunfire injures 2 people in Gaza: Report

    Despite the ceasefire, two people have been injured in Gaza by Israeli military fire, Wafa reports.

    Off the coast of Gaza City, a Palestinian fisherman was hurt by Israeli gunfire, according to Wafa. And near Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood, a drone injured another civilian, it said.

    The attacks add to a series of casualties in the enclave since the ceasefire came into effect.

    As we reported earlier, Israeli forces shot dead three Palestinians, including a child, in Rafah.
