European-Palestinian Media Center (EPAL) Bulletin – Issue: 2599 – Date: Tuesday, 10/11/2026

1. Three killed and 15 injured in 24 hours: 1,613 killed since the start of the ceasefire

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that hospitals across the territory had received three fatalities over the past 24 hours, including two people recently killed and one person who succumbed to previously sustained injuries, as well as 15 wounded individuals.

The Ministry explained that the cumulative death toll since the beginning of the offensive against the Gaza Strip has risen to 74,643, with 175,962 people injured.

### 2. In Gaza, death is available in many forms, while life requires international consensus

Is it preferable for death to come from the sky or from beneath a tent? From a shell whose sound can be heard, or from medicine that never arrives?

And after surviving an airstrike, must a Palestinian in Gaza submit another request to survive the winter, followed by yet another request to escape illness?

And to whom should these requests be addressed? To the occupation, which imposes a siege and closes the crossings? To the Peace Council, which is supposed to lift the siege and reopen the border crossings? Or to the world, which is content to observe Gaza’s tragic reality from afar?

### 3. Olive harvest season under attack: farmer injured, crops stolen and property damaged in the West Bank

Settlers have intensified their attacks against Palestinian civilians and their property in various areas of the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

Their attacks have particularly targeted olive farmers and the harvesting season, involving physical assaults, crop theft and damage to facilities, alongside incursions into the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

A Palestinian civilian sustained bruises after settlers attacked a group of people while they were harvesting olives near the town of Tayasir, east of Tubas. He was transferred to hospital for medical treatment, according to local sources.

### 4. Gaza Civil Defence: Most of our vehicles are out of service

The General Directorate of Civil Defence in the Gaza Strip announced that most of its vehicles are no longer able to respond to humanitarian emergencies in the Gaza and Central Governorates.

This is due to a shortage of spare parts required for maintenance, at a time when the need for rescue and relief operations is increasing because of flooded displacement tents and structural collapses.

Civil Defence stated that only one rescue vehicle remains operational for humanitarian missions throughout the Central Governorate, following the breakdown of the two fire engines in Bureij and Nuseirat and an ambulance in Deir al-Balah.

### 5. From bombardment to flooding and collapse: death pursues displaced Palestinians in Gaza even inside their tents

Displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been unable to find a safe refuge from the dangers of war, even in the tents to which they fled after losing their homes.

This comes amid Israel’s failure to honour its commitments to allow humanitarian supplies and prefabricated housing units into the territory, as well as its continued obstruction of reconstruction efforts. As a result, displaced people remain directly exposed to the harsh conditions of displacement and the dangers posed by severe weather systems.

This situation was tragically illustrated by an incident in the city of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, where a sandy embankment collapsed onto displaced people’s tents at a shelter centre south of the city.

The incident occurred as the territory was affected by a weather depression accompanied by heavy rainfall. It resulted in the deaths of four civilians, most of them children, and left several others injured.

### 6. Government Media Office: Destruction of 90% of Gaza’s infrastructure is turning bad weather into a humanitarian catastrophe

The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip revealed the scale of human and material losses caused by the weather depression that struck the territory.

It announced that four civilians had been killed and two others remained missing, including women and children, while dozens were injured following the collapse of a sandy embankment and walls onto displaced people’s tents in Deir al-Balah.

The office stated that within just 12 hours, the weather system had caused approximately 70,000 tents housing displaced people across hundreds of camps to become flooded.

Initial estimates placed the material losses at approximately $3 million.

### 7. Prisoners face the cold without winter clothes or blankets

The Prisoners’ Media Office stated that detainees at Janot Prison are facing freezing conditions without winter clothing or sufficient blankets, while the windows are being kept open.

The office explained that some prisoners at Janot have only one set of clothing, while others have nothing but short-sleeved garments.

It added that prisoners held in isolation at Janot have neither winter clothing nor blankets, and that one detainee has been without sandals for five months.

### 8. Humanitarian institutions’ coalition holds Israel responsible for the Deir al-Balah tragedy

The Coalition of Humanitarian Charitable Institutions mourned the victims of the sandy embankment collapse onto displaced people’s tents in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, holding Israel fully responsible for this tragedy.

The coalition stated that it was following with profound sadness, pain and sorrow the devastating humanitarian disaster that occurred on Sunday evening at a shelter centre south of Deir al-Balah.

The incident resulted in the deaths of five people, including women and children.

### 9. Calls to reinstate UN Resolution 3379 and intensify the boycott to hold Israel accountable

The Global Sumud Flotilla called for international efforts to be united in order to reinstate United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 of 1975, which declared Zionism a form of racism and racial discrimination.

The Flotilla stressed the need to turn popular solidarity into practical action through boycotts and divestment.

It considered the recent adoption by the British Green Party of a motion stating that Zionism is racist an important starting point for efforts to restore international recognition of this position, following decades since the UN resolution was revoked under political pressure.

### 13. Leaflets distributed condemning policies aimed at suppressing solidarity with Palestine within the British health service

The Global Health for Palestine group distributed leaflets inside the Royal Free Hospital in the Hampstead area of London.

The initiative was intended to protest Lord John Mann’s review concerning antisemitism within the National Health Service (NHS).

The group described the review as “pro-occupation indoctrination” and an attempt to suppress solidarity with the Palestinian people.

### 14. The Netherlands confirms continued efforts to establish a Palestinian state following a massive demonstration in Amsterdam

Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen confirmed that his country would continue working towards the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state, as well as improving humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.

### 15. More than 100 events in 14 European countries target data centres belonging to technology companies accused of complicity with Israel

The events were organised by the coalition “Stop Dirty Data Centers”.

Activists condemned the alleged contribution of Google, Microsoft and Amazon to the genocide through the provision of technological infrastructure and target-identification technologies to Israel.

In Dublin, activists displayed a banner outside Google’s headquarters calling for an end to the expansion of data centres. Handmade models of surveillance equipment and smoke bombs were also displayed alongside the banner.

The movement urged shoppers to file complaints with store management, demand that the products be removed from shelves or have awareness-raising labels placed on them.

It also called on consumers to return any product labelled “Made in Israel” to its place on the shelves.

Former Dutch Foreign Minister Lilianne Ploumen urged Prime Minister Rob Jetten to immediately suspend military cooperation with Israel.

The march covered approximately six kilometres around Vondelpark.

### 18. Albanese: Leaving Gaza’s children in tents flooded by rainwater is the shame of our time

Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, described the fact that children in the Gaza Strip are forced to remain in tents flooded by rainwater and floodwaters, without protection from the winter cold, as “the shame of our time”.

Her statement highlighted the deterioration of humanitarian conditions and the continued suffering of displaced Palestinians despite the ceasefire.

Albanese said she was outraged by images showing children living inside tents flooded with cold water, without even the minimum protection needed to withstand winter conditions.

### 19. Boycott cycling tour in Philadelphia targets shops supporting Israel

In Philadelphia, activists organised a boycott cycling tour during which they waved Palestinian flags and wore keffiyehs.

The group targeted shops whose owners, according to the organisers, support Israel.

The initiative was organised in solidarity with Gaza, which has been subjected to genocide for more than three years.

The cyclists encountered hundreds of counter-protesters who raised Israeli flags and displayed signs opposing antisemitism in Rittenhouse Square.

### 20. Activist Adam Harper condemns the killing of Gaza’s children and exposes Israel’s influence in America

American activist Adam Harper appeared wearing a T-shirt bearing a message condemning Israeli massacres and the continued killing of children in the Gaza Strip.

His statement challenged common arguments that seek to minimise the extent of Zionist influence within the United States.

Harper stressed that Israel’s small geographical size does not diminish its considerable financial and political influence.

To support his argument, he pointed to the substantial donations and media lobbying activities carried out by Zionist organisations to influence American political decision-making and ensure the continuation of complicity and unconditional military support for the genocidal war.

### 21. Zionist supporters attack a pro-Palestinian cycling demonstration in Philadelphia
