At least 25 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in the early hours of Monday when Israeli forces bombed a school sheltering displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City. Medics reported that the majority of casualties in the strike were women and children.

A rescue operation was underway overnight on Sunday following a separate attack on Al-Thawra Street, west of Gaza City, where a mother, father and their four children were killed. It remains unclear whether there are additional casualties.

Desperation was visible in Gaza City on Sunday as Palestinians were seen clambering onto aid trucks in an attempt to obtain much-needed food. According to the Israeli military, 107 aid trucks belonging to the UN and other humanitarian organisations—carrying flour, food, medical supplies and medicines—were transferred into the Gaza Strip on Thursday.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Sunday that two of its staff had been killed in a strike on a house in Khan Younis on Saturday.

The Gaza media office reported on Sunday that Israeli forces controlled 77% of the Gaza Strip, either through ground operations or via evacuation orders and bombardments that have forced residents from their homes.

More than 70,000 children are facing acute malnutrition, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).

A four-year-old boy has died of starvation in Gaza, as the Government Media Office claims that hundreds of thousands of tonnes of humanitarian aid have accumulated outside Gaza, “decaying or spoiling” due to months of Israeli obstruction. Since 2 March, 58 deaths attributable to malnutrition have been recorded, according to the office.

The Gaza City municipality has warned of “a potential large-scale water crisis” owing to shortages of supplies needed for urgent repairs to damaged infrastructure.
