• Gaza hospitals have recorded seven new deaths “due to famine and malnutrition”, raising the total hunger-related death toll to 154, according the enclave’s Health Ministry.
• Meanwhile, Israeli attacks continue with at least 21 Palestinians, including more than a dozen aid seekers, killed since dawn across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera.
• British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told his cabinet that the United Kingdom will recognise the state of Palestine by September unless Israel takes “substantive steps” to end its war on Gaza and commits to a lasting peace process.
• Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 60,034 people and wounded 145,870 others. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack, and more than 200 were taken captive.
