- Data shows 63 of this year’s 74 malnutrition-related deaths occurred in July, including 24 under-fives, while over 5,000 young children sought outpatient treatment in early July, according to the UN health agency.
- A limited 'tactical pause' was initiated by Israel to allow aid, and the Israel Defense Forces reported 120 aid trucks delivered food and medicine.
- The WHO called for sustained, diverse aid deliveries to Gaza, as all four specialised treatment centres are running low on fuel with supplies expected to run out by mid-next month.
