Evening recap

Our live blog is now closed until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day's key developments:

- At least 12 Palestinians have been killed and another 150 were injured after Israeli forces opened fire on aid seekers in the al-Sudaniya area in the northwest of Gaza on Friday. 

- The Israeli military announced it would allow for foreign governments to carry out Gaza aid drops from the sky to feed Palestinians it has starved. 

- US President Donald Trump indicated to reporters that there may be further assassinations of Hamas officials, because, he said, it was Hamas that refused to commit to a ceasefire deal.

- United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher has demanded that Israel provide evidence for its accusations that staff with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) have links to Hamas, the Reuters news agency reported on Friday, citing a letter it had reviewed. 

- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in New York issued a statement on Friday decrying conditions in Gaza and calling on 'states' to uphold international legal obligations, but did not implicate Israel by name.

- A letter sent to the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday, urging him to recognise a Palestinian state and follow in France's footsteps, has been signed by 221 members of parliament thus far.
