Late night update

At least 32,226 Palestinians have been killed, among them 84 in the past 24 hours, and 74,518 injured in Israel's air and ground assault into the densely populated Gaza Strip, according to the local health ministry. 

Today, Israel informed the United Nations today that it will no longer allow Unrwa food convoys into north Gaza, where 70 percent of people face the highest level of food scarcity.

UN chief Antonio Guterres denounced "horror & starvation" in Gaza during his humanitarian visit to Egypt, in a series of posts to X.

Meanwhile, the US announced that it sent an airdrop over north Gaza in cooperation with the Jordanian air force. 

The shipment is the 13th humanitarian aid airdrop to the area, however, the UN and other aid organisations have warned that airdrops cannot provide nearly enough aid to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza. 

Other updates from today include: 

• In a joint statement, 14 NGOs came together to state that Israel is not in compliance with US President Joe Biden's national security memorandum that barred recipients of US weapons from obstructing humanitarian aid in conflict zones.

• The US Conference of Catholic Bishops called for a ceasefire in Gaza ahead of the Christian Easter holidays.

• French President Emmanuel Macron warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that forcible population transfer is a war crime that violates international law, condemning "Israeli announcements on settlements" in talks with the Israeli leader.
