Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on Israel's war on Gaza and developments in the occupied West Bank:

  • Detained doctor Hussam Abu Safia's son says his father has lost 30kg (66 pounds) and is “suffering from critical health conditions” and has been deprived of medication in the Israeli jail.

  • The 107 employees, along with 300 media industry figures, have published a letter on Deadline to BBC leadership, accusing the broadcaster of “censorship” when it comes to Israel and “performing PR for the Israeli government and military”.

  • Israeli officials have threatened that "everything will turn to dust” in Gaza City and the central camps if negotiations on a ceasefire and captive exchange deal do not advance soon, according to the US-based Axios news outlet.

  • At least 600 people have been killed and more than 4,278 others wounded at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites since the group began operations in late May, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

  • Israeli forces have attacked the city of Khan Younis as well as the so-called humanitarian zone of al-Mawasi, killing at least six people, according to Al Jazeera, citing sources at the Nasser Medical Complex.
