Separately, Doctors Without Borders/MSF has warned that Israeli shelling near the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis has led to many of the thousands of displaced civilians there fleeing in panic.

Humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate in Gaza, where UN human rights experts say that “every single person” is facing serious hunger. Vital medical assistance entered Gaza, a portion of which will be used for Israeli captives, as part of a Qatari-brokered agreement between Israel and Hamas. Israeli forces carried out raids across the occupied West Bank, including in the town of Tulkarem, where at least six Palestinians were killed and others arrested, including three medical workers. Five other Palestinians were killed in an attack on Nablus.
