Live Blog Update| Israel's genocide in Gaza

Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, here are the latest updates:

  • Medical charity Doctors Without Borders said Sunday that people it treated at a Gaza aid site run by a new US-backed organisation reported being "shot from all sides" by Israeli forces. The organisation called the GHF's system of aid delivery "dehumanising, dangerous and severely ineffective" which has "resulted in deaths and injuries of civilians that could have been prevented."

  • A new Israeli attack on Palestinians who gathered at the GHF aid distribution point in Rafah killed at least three people and injured 35 others, according to medical sources, according to Al Jazeera.

  • More than 632,000 Palestinians have been displaced since Israel broke the nearly two-month ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza on 18 March, the United Nations says.

  • Chile’s president, Gabriel Boric, said he will introduce a law to ban imports from what he called “illegally occupied territories” and back efforts by Spain for an arms embargo against Israel.

  • Cindy McCain, the executive director of the World Food Programme, has called for an "immediate ceasefire and complete unfettered access [and] every gate open to feed people," during an interview with ABC News, saying “if we don’t do that, it’s going to be a humanitarian catastrophe… like none other.”
