Good morning Middle East Eye readers,
Here are the latest updates:
- One person has been killed and several injured during an Israeli strike on a school in Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza
- Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in their raid on al-Faria refugee camp south of Tubas, occupied West Bank
- Palestine's bid to secure full UN membership has failed, and efforts for a potential other vote next week may be vetoed by the US at the UN Security Council
- The US said it predicts that Iran's retaliation against Israel for the Damascus consulate strike will not be big enough to drag Washington into war
- USAID chief Samantha Power said it was "credible" to assess that famine had already begun in Gaza. The White House took a softer stance, saying it was "imminent" instead.
