Morning recap: Day 22

28 October 2023 08:00 BST

Good morning MEE readers, 

Communication in the Gaza Strip continues to be cut off following what appears to be have been one of the most intense nights of bombing in the besieged enclave, according to what little information has been trickling out.

The death toll of Palestinians stood at 7,300 on Friday, but the loss of communication means the true figure could be much higher.

Here’s what you need to know from the past few hours: 

  • Unicef and Doctors Without Borders say they are no longer in contact with their colleagues in Gaza following communications blackout.

  • Israel claims to have “hit 150 underground targets” in Gaza overnight.

  • Thousands of Palestinians across the West Bank take part in dawn prayers for the people of Gaza.

  • Footage from Gaza depicts desperate pleas and screaming amid bombardment in Al Shati camp.

  • US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield says in statement the lives of "innocent Palestinians must be protected."
