Gaza City – At least 95 Palestinians have been killed and 440 others injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 24 hours, according to the territory's Health Ministry.
Israel’s military has also warned Gaza residents, many of whom are on the brink of starvation, to avoid roads leading to US-backed aid distribution centers operated by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The sites are set to be closed for a full day for what officials described as “renovation, reorganisation, and efficiency improvement work.”
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council is expected to vote on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza—though the measure is likely to be vetoed by the United States. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israel’s military campaign in the territory has killed at least 54,607 people and wounded 125,341 since it began. These figures follow the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which left 1,139 people dead and more than 200 taken captive.
Trinity College Dublin to sever ties with Israel over Gaza war
Trinity College Dublin, one of Ireland’s top universities, has announced it will cut all institutional ties with Israel, citing “ongoing violations of international and humanitarian law.”
The decision follows sustained student-led protests demanding an end to the university’s cooperation with Israeli institutions and firms.
According to AFP, the university’s board sent an email to students stating it will end all business relationships with Israeli companies, divest from firms based in Israel, and decline future academic mobility agreements with Israeli universities.
UK Minister condemns Gaza Aid site killings as ‘deeply disturbing’
At least 27 Palestinians were killed and over 100 injured when Israeli forces opened fire near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution site in southern Gaza on Tuesday. The Israeli military said the incident is under investigation.
UK Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer described the deaths as “deeply disturbing,” and condemned Israel’s new aid delivery restrictions as “inhumane.” He joined UN Secretary-General António Guterres in calling for “an immediate and independent investigation.”
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher emphasized the broader context, stating, “These are not isolated incidents,” and demanded accountability for repeated attacks on aid seekers.
The United Nations has warned that Gaza’s entire population remains at imminent risk of famine.
