Evening recap

Our live coverage from Gaza will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are some of the day's key developments:

• Gaza death toll tops 37,658, with 32 people killed in the past 24 hours. Additionally, 86,237 people have been wounded since the start of the war

• Dozens of Israeli reservist soldiers have signed a letter stating their unwillingness to serve with the army in Gaza

• Around 96 percent of the Gaza Strip's population, or 2.15m people, face "high levels of acute food insecurity through September 2024", a report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) shows

• Israel's capture and subsequent closure of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt has prevented at least 2,000 Palestinian patients from leaving Gaza for treatement, a World Health Organisation official said on Tuesday

• The German Ministry of Education has drawn up lists of professors who don't toe the government line on Gaza in a bid to deprive them of future funding in academia, a move that is likely to stifle academic freedom

• The head of Hamas' political wing, Ismail Haniyeh, said on Tuesday that "if Israel thinks that harming my family members will change my position and the resistance to the occupation, then it is delusional"

• On Tuesday, Germany enacted a landmark citizenship law that explicitly requires applicants to affirm the state of Israel’s right to exist
