Israeli forces continue bombarding Gaza, killing at least 40 Palestinians on Saturday, as aid officials sound the alarm over “full-scale famine conditions” amid Israel’s blockade.
Hamas says it presented its “vision for reaching a comprehensive deal that achieves a ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and reconstruction” to mediators in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
US keeps up its offensive against Yemen’s Houthis, bombing several neighbourhoods in Sanaa and wounding at least eight people, according to media reports.
At least 51,495 Palestinians have been confirmed killed and 117,524 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since it began 18 months ago. The Gaza Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
