Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates on the Israeli war on Gaza, now ongoing for over one year and eight months:

  • Israeli forces killed at least six Palestinians on Saturday morning, including three near a US-operated aid distribution centre, according to local media reports.

  • On Friday, the European Union’s diplomatic service stated that there were indications Israel may have breached its human rights obligations under the terms of its association agreement with the bloc, in relation to its conduct in Gaza. This is according to a document seen by Reuters.

  • The United Nations children’s agency, Unicef, warned on Friday that a fuel shortage in Gaza is threatening the operation of wells and desalination plants, placing the enclave at risk of a “man-made drought.”
