An­to­nio Guter­res is one of many top UN, gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials to ex­press con­cern for 1.9 mil­lion dis­placed in Rafah.

Is­raeli prime min­is­ter says he or­ders mil­i­tary to de­vel­op dual plan to evac­u­ate civil­ians from Rafah and de­feat Hamas.

At least 14 Pales­tini­ans dead in Rafah air strikes to­day as US again is­sues de­mand for Is­rael to stop killing civil­ians.

Qatar’s PM and top US diplo­mat say re­sponse has been de­liv­ered to Is­rael, but that deal ‘will take time’.

Sol­diers now oc­cu­py the main yard of the Red Cres­cent’s head­quar­ters in Khan You­nis and are de­mand­ing evac­u­a­tion.

UN­R­WA says Is­raeli as­sur­ances of pro­tect­ing civil­ians “not fol­lowed up”, as death toll from shel­ter at­tack ris­es to 13.

Pales­tin­ian Health Min­istry says 165 Pales­tini­ans killed and 280 wound­ed in Gaza over a 24-hour pe­ri­od.

A ship­ment that ar­rived at the Rafah bor­der cross­ing with Egypt ear­li­er to­day is now in the Strip, says Qatar.

The death toll in Gaza has risen to 23,843, with more than 60,317 wound­ed, ac­cord­ing to the en­clave’s health min­istry.

The Gaza Me­dia Of­fice says gen­er­a­tors have shut off at the hos­pi­tal and that ICU and nurs­ery pa­tients are in dan­ger.
