- On Friday, Israeli attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 44 Palestinians in Gaza, with a significant number of those killed located near Netzarim and Deir Al-Balah while attempting to receive food assistance.
- This event followed the Gaza war triggered by Hamas militants' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation runs a U.S.-backed aid distribution system with dangerous routes, and 12 people were killed trying to approach a GHF site amid ongoing hostilities.
- UNICEF spokesperson James Elder reported that only 40 percent of Gaza’s drinking water facilities remain functional and warned children will begin to die of thirst.
- These strikes and collapsing infrastructure worsen Gaza’s hunger and drought crises, leaving nearly half a million people malnourished with increasing casualties during aid attempts.
