Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- Israel has killed at least 38 people in Gaza since dawn on Monday, bringing the death toll to more than 54,4170 since 7 October 2023.

- Despite local officials confirming three people dead and 35 others injured in the overnight hours as Israeli forces shot at Palestinians collecting aid in Rafah, the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said that the reports are fabricated.

- Unrwa said that boxes of food intended for distribution in Gaza, stored in the agency's Amman warehouse in Jordan, are approaching their expiry dates. Some have been in storage since January.

- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the situation in Gaza was getting "worse by the day" and that it was important to ensure the Palestinian enclave receives more humanitarian aid urgently.

- Former US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, who worked under the Biden administration and frequently defended Israel's war on Gaza, has now told Sky News he believes that Israel has "without a doubt... committed war crimes".

- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) reported that Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have reached their highest rate in at least 20 years, with settlers injuring over 220 Palestinians, averaging 44 per month.
