It's day 234 of Israel's war on Gaza. This is a recap of the last few hours to get you up to speed this morning:
- Sunday saw another evening of intense Israeli bombardment in Gaza, with at least 40 Palestinians killed and dozens of others wounded after a number of Israeli air strikes hit a camp for displaced people in Rafah. Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri described the attack in Rafah as a "massacre"
- The Palestinian health ministry said that 35,984 Palestinians had been killed and 80,643 injured in Israeli strikes since 7 October in Gaza
- The Government Media Office in Gaza said Israel used a 2,000-pound (907kg) bomb in the attack and that it marked the 10th Israeli assault on a displacement centre affiliated with the United Nations in the past 24 hours
- Hamas condemned Israel’s “heinous massacre”, saying the raids were in “complete defiance and disregard” of the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) order on Israel to halt the military operation in Gaza
- Amnesty calls for war crimes probe into three Israeli attacks on Gaza
