Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are some of the day's key developments:

  • The total death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has climbed to 54,880 since 7 October 2023, with 126,227 wounded.

  • The ministry said the tally includes 4,603 dead and 14,186 wounded since Israel resumed the war on March 18, ending a nearly two-month ceasefire.

  • The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Monday that the bodies of 108 people killed by Israeli strikes have been brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours.

  • Israeli air raids across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 44 Palestinians on Sunday, medical sources say, as the bombardment continues to devastate the besieged territory.

  • Medical teams at Rafah's Red Cross Field Hospital are reaching breaking point after two weeks of relentless casualties from Israel's military offensive. Staff have declared 12 mass casualty emergencies as 933 wounded Palestinians flooded the facility - 41 arriving already dead from their injuries.

  • Palestinian resistance groups have accused the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation of complicity in what they called “death ambushes”, saying massacres are taking place daily at aid distribution points disguised as relief efforts.

  • Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, criticised the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid delivery system, calling the use of “aid distribution” a form of “humanitarian camouflage”.

  • The Israeli military has accused Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defence (PCD), of being an "active terrorist" affiliated with Hamas - a claim Bassal strongly denies.
