Morning update

Good morning readers of Middle East Eye,

We are on day 119 of the Israeli war on Gaza and the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since 7 October now stands at 27,019, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

In its latest update the Palestinian Health Ministry has said that  at least 66,139 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 warns that the Nasser and al-Amal hospitals in Khan Younis are suffering from a “serious shortage of oxygen” to treat patients
• Illegal Israeli settlers have tried to set a car on fire on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of al-Sawiya, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank
• The attack comes after the US Treasury Department sanctioned four Israeli settlers following an executive order from the Biden administration authorising action against “persons undermining peace, security, and stability” in the occupied West Bank
• The bodies of 12 people have been found under the rubble of a house destroyed “weeks ago” by an Israeli strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, according to Palestinian media
