Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are some of the latest updates on Israel's war on Gaza: 

  • Palestinians in Gaza are urging global intervention to force Israel to lift its renewed blockade, describing it as a deliberate attempt to kill them.

  • The UN reports that over 3,000 children have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, warning that the blockade could reverse efforts to deliver lifesaving aid.

  • The White House dismissed an Arab plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, claiming it ignores the fact that the enclave is now “uninhabitable,” while continuing to promote Trump’s takeover proposal.

  • A child rights group revealed that Israel is holding a 14-year-old Palestinian from the occupied West Bank in “administrative detention” without charge or trial, making him the youngest detainee under the policy.

  • Amnesty International has called for a war crimes investigation into Israel’s repeated and unlawful attacks on Lebanon’s healthcare workers during last year’s war.
