Afternoon update

Good afternoon Middle East Eye readers,

It is shortly after 15:30 in Gaza. Here is what has been happening today so far: 

- Gaza’s death toll rose to 45,514 Palestinians killed in Gaza since the war began last October.

- Egyptian sources have told Al-Araby TV that ceasefire talks are on the verge of collapsing due to Israeli intransigence.

- Juma, a newborn Palestinian baby who was 30 days old, died in Gaza from hypothermia on Sunday, making him the fifth newborn baby to die from hypothermia in Gaza.

- Gaza Civil Defence reported that Israeli forces killed at least seven people after they attacked the upper floor of the al-Wafaa hospital in Gaza city on Sunday.

- Israeli forces carrying out a weeks-long offensive in northern Gaza ordered any residents remaining in Beit Hanoun to quit the town on Sunday, pointing to Palestinian militant rocket fire from the area, residents said.
