Good evening Middle East Eye readers. 

Today marks the 16th day of the war, which started on 7 October.

While the second aid convoy has entered Gaza today, the United Nations' World Food Programme says that only 0.002 percent of the enclave's immediate relief needs have been met so far.

Over 4,651 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, including over 1,873 children, while the Israeli death count stands at 1,400.

At least 20 out of 35 hospitals in Gaza are no longer functioning, exacerbating an already catastrophic humanitarian and healthcare crisis in the strip. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Health reiterated that the international community must stop Israel's repeated threats to bomb and target hospitals.

Here are some of the key developments from today.

- Israel bombed Gaza's Jabalia camp, killing at least 13. The full extent of the damage and casualties is yet to be known.

- Nine Egyptians were wounded in an Israeli explosion on an Egyptian position near the Gaza border, which also destroyed an Egyptian watchtower. The Israeli army later confirmed they fired in the air and that it was an accident that was being investigated.

- Tributes poured in for a prominent Palestinian photojournalist, Rushdi Saraj, killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.

- Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians in Nablus, including a 17-year-old teenager, during a raid, while a 20-year-old was killed near Hebron.

- The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) has said that Gaza is set to totally run out of fuel in three days. The organisation also said that 29 of their staff members, half of them teachers, have been killed since 7 October.

- Palestine's health ministry said that Israel has committed "24 massacres in 24 hours" in Gaza, killing at least 266 people on Sunday.

- Pro-Palestine protests have continued around the world, including in Bosnia and Jordan. In the UK, thousands of protesters demanded the release of Israeli captives from Gaza.
