Good morning

Good morning readers of Middle East Eye,

We are on day 111 of the Israeli war on Gaza and the Palestinian death toll in the besieged strip stands at 25,700, the vast majority women and children.

In its latest update the Palestinian Health Ministry has said that  at least 63,740 have been wounded in attacks by the Israeli military.

More than 8,000 missing who are believed to be dead and buried under rubble. 

Here are the major developments from the last few hours: 

• The UN humanitarian agency OCHA reports that “no one can enter or exit” Nasser Hospital due to bombardments nearby, including 400 dialysis patients who are in “need of support”
• A reported Israeli tank fire that killed at least nine people at a UN shelter in Khan Younis, and wounded dozens, has sparked international outrage
• Four children were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area in the Nuseirat refugee camp, the Palestinian news agency Wafa report
• The International Court of Justice will deliver its response to South Africa’s request for emergency measures to protect Palestinians from “irreparable harm” on Friday, part of its case against Israel for allegedly committing genocide in Gaza
