Live Blog Update| Israel's genocide in Gaza

Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- Eleven Palestinians have been killed by Israel as they scrambled to collect aid from a rare delivery by a World Food Programme convoy on Monday.

- Israeli special forces shot and killed a journalist, Tamer al-Za'anin, during an operation where they also arrested the director of the Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, Dr Marwan al-Hams. 

- The World Health Organisation's (WHO) staff residence in Deir al-Balah was attacked three times by the Israeli military the agency's chief said. The main WHO warehouse was also attacked, and that building is located within what has now become a forced evacuation zone. 

- The spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on Monday that Israel's forced displacement orders in Gaza are cutting off Palestinians from sources of clean water. 

- When asked repeatedly if there is evidence of Hamas looting aid trucks, as the US and Israeli governments have alleged, the head of the World Food Programme said her agency has "not seen that".

- The Israeli foreign ministry on Monday rejected the joint statement published by over 20 countries, including Canada, Australia, the UK, and Europe, calling for an end to its war on Gaza, "as it is disconnected from reality and sends the wrong message to Hamas". 

- The Hamas political bureau, meanwhile, said it is "exerting all our efforts and energies around the clock to end this escalating suffering" in Gaza, which it called a "top priority" for its leadership.
