Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates from Gaza and the region, 26 days after a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas:

  • US has officially distributed the draft resolution on Gaza to the UN Security Council. The document calls for a transitional body for reconstruction and aid management in addition to a "temporary international stabilisation force" that would work with Israel.

  • Israeli forces have arrested 540 citizens in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem during October, including 8 women and 39 children, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office. 

  • World Health Organisation, which is set to begin its immunisation campaign in Gaza next week, has stressed the need to maintain the ceasefire.

  • Approximately 268,000 housing units were destroyed by Israeli forces and 288,000 Palestinian families have been left homeless, Gaza's Government Media Office has reported. 

  •  The Israeli army, in renewed violations in Gaza, has demolished several residential buildings east of Gaza City.
