World leaders denounced Israel’s ban on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), calling it “intolerable”, “illegal” and “nothing less than collective punishment”.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 60 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon, making it the deadliest day for the region since the escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel’s siege of northern Gaza entered its 25th day, with health officials saying that more than 1,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since the offensive began.
In Gaza, at least 43,020 people have been killed and 101,110 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 2,710 people, including at least 127 children, have been killed and 12,592 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war in Gaza began.
