Good morning readers of Middle East Eye,
We are on day 109 of the Israeli war on Gaza and the Palestinian death toll in the besieged strip stands at 25,295, the majority women and children.
In its latest update, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has said that at least 63,000 have been wounded in attacks by the Israeli military.
More than 8,000 are missing and believed to be dead and buried under rubble.
Here are the major developments from the last few hours:
- Reports in Israeli media of a new proposal by Israel to Hamas offering a two-month truce in return for a phased release of Gaza captives
- Israeli forces kill and injure several Palestinians in an attack on a car in which the passengers were waving white flags as they attempted to flee Gaza’s Khan Younis city
- Michael Fakhri, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, described Israel’s restricting of food and water to Gaza as “unprecedented"
- Renewed US and UK air attacks have hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa
