Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Tuesday in the Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City and in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, amidst constant Israeli artillery shelling witnessed in southern Gaza. At the same time, farms and houses were destroyed in the eastern parts of Gaza City.

On the 25th day since the start of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, the Strip is facing a serious environmental and health crisis with sewage water flows in the streets and between destroyed homes and tents of displaced people, as a result of the near-total collapse of sewage networks in various areas of the Strip.

Several IOM aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip late Tuesday. It is not confirmed from where they entered and where they are heading.

Hamas returned another body on Tuesday. Israeli Prime Minister’s Office confirms that the body of fallen Israeli soldier Itay Chen returned to Israel, the last American captive held in Gaza. With this, the total number of deceased captives still in Gaza is seven, these being Meny Godard, Hadar Goldin, Ran Gvili, Joshua Luito Mollel, Dror Or, Lior Rudaeff, and Sudthisak Rinthalak.
