1. Child killed and others injured as Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire resume
Israeli occupation forces continued to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip through artillery shelling and gunfire targeting various areas in the eastern and southern parts of the Strip.
A medical source reported the death of 13-year-old Saba Naim Abdullah Al-Hashash, who succumbed to injuries sustained the previous day from Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire in the Al-Iqlimi area of Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.
2. Euro-Mediterranean Monitor refutes Israel’s narrative regarding famine in Gaza
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that Israel continues to distort facts in an attempt to absolve itself of responsibility for the crime of starving civilians in the Gaza Strip, through the selective and misleading use of data issued by UNICEF’s Nutrition Cluster for 2026, with the aim of denying the indicators of famine announced by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) in 2025.
The Monitor explained that the 0.5% figure promoted by Israel is based exclusively on the “weight-for-height” indicator used to measure acute malnutrition, while ignoring other, more comprehensive indicators. Data based on “mid-upper arm circumference” show a rate of 1.3%, which is also the rate obtained when the two indicators are considered together. According to the Monitor, this reflects a deliberate attempt to obscure the full findings and promote the lower figure as the study’s final result.
3. Calls for temporary caravans to be brought into Gaza to protect women, children and the elderly
Legal and housing experts called for the immediate authorization of caravans and temporary shelter units to enter the Gaza Strip, ensuring that they reach those in need without discrimination.
They stressed that priority should be given to women-headed households, pregnant and breastfeeding women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the most vulnerable groups.
The calls came during a specialized workshop organized by Gaza’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs to highlight the humanitarian situation and the importance and necessity of facilitating the entry of temporary shelter units (“caravans”) to protect women in the Gaza Strip, in light of the rules and provisions of international law.
4. Rights center: Occupation continues to kill prisoners inside its prisons and conceals the fate of dozens

6. Gaza doctor: War conditions have doubled the risks of pregnancy and miscarriage
Iyad Abu Hasira, head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Al-Helo Hospital, said that pregnant women in the Gaza Strip faced numerous difficulties during the war amid repeated displacement, the destruction of homes, and the collapse of primary healthcare services as a result of the destruction affecting hospitals and medical facilities.
Abu Hasira explained that during and after the war, pregnant women lived in places unfit for habitation, including tents lacking running water and electricity. He noted that they were also forced to perform strenuous tasks, such as lifting water containers and carrying them from one place to another, putting the lives of their fetuses at risk.

Activities for the popular Resistance Festival began on Kelvin Way in the Scottish city of Glasgow, with broad participation from activists, anti-Zionist Jewish rabbis and children, to condemn the crimes of the occupation and demand full freedom for Palestine.
