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

Here are some of the day's key developments:

  • The Palestinian health ministry said on Saturday that Israeli forces have killed at least 27 people and injured more than 100 people in the past 24 hours. 

  • The number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza has climbed to at least 52,810, the Palestinian health ministry said on Saturday, with more than 119,473 people wounded since the war began on 7 October 2023.

  • A UN spokesperson has sounded the alarm and warned that Israel's plan to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza's population "does not meet the minimum bar for principled humanitarian support."

  • James Elder, spokesperson for Unicef, said on Saturday that the draft plan “appears likely to exacerbate the ongoing suffering of children and families in the Gaza Strip”.

  • US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has dismissed as “nonsense” a Jerusalem Post report claiming President Donald Trump will recognise a Palestinian state during his upcoming visit to the region.

  • Huckabee has also played down speculation that President Donald Trump is snubbing Israel by excluding it from his upcoming Middle East tour.

  • Germany’s newly appointed foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, has called for “serious discussions for a ceasefire” in Gaza, describing the humanitarian conditions as “unbearable.”

  • The Israeli army confirmed that a landmine attack in Gaza City injured nine Israeli soldiers, including two senior officers.
