Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza since dawn on Thursday.

- The journalists' death toll in Gaza has risen to 229 with the killing of Palestine Today's Ahmad Salama Abu Aisha, the Gaza Media Office announced. 

- A United Nations team got about 75,000 litres of fuel into Gaza on Wednesday, the first such delivery in 130 days, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Thursday. 

- Mahmoud Khalil, the 30-year-old Columbia University student who was the first and most well-known immigration detainee in the US for his pro-Palestine views, has now sued the Trump administration for $20m in damages for the harm done to his reputation and livelihood.

The UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, said she is undeterred by sanctions imposed on her by the US on Wednesday. “It looks like I've hit a nerve,” she told Middle East Eye’s live show.
