In the face of global anger, Israel announces planned humanitarian pause in civilian centres to enable aid distribution.

Malnutrition cases are soaring across the Gaza Strip, where starving children are pouring into overwhelmed hospitals. Earlier today, the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City announced the death of Palestinian child Abdul Qader al-Fayoumi from malnutrition — the 115th starvation-related death since Israel reimposed its siege on Gaza in March.

Israeli forces killed at least 27 people in attacks in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, including three people who died in a strike on a church that late Pope Francis used to speak to regularly, medics and church officials said.
