Gaza’s Ministry of Health has recorded four deaths “due to famine and malnutrition” over the past 24 hours, including two children, bringing the total number of hunger-related deaths in the enclave to 317, including 121 children.

At least 11 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza overnight and this morning, including a woman and her child in central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp, medical sources told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

No buildings remain standing in the southern part of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City as the Israeli ground operation launched earlier this month demolished more than 1,500 homes, according to Gaza’s civil defence.

All members of the United Nations Security Council, except the United States, jointly backed the IPC’s declaration that famine in Gaza is a “man-made crisis” on Wednesday, despite Israel and the US attacking the findings.

Israel has killed at least 62,895 people and wounded 158,927 in its war on Gaza. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.
