Israel’s war on Gaza live: Attacks on Rafah intensify despite condemnation
- Israeli forces shelled a tent camp in a designated “safe zone” west of Rafah and killed at least 21 people, including 13 women and girls, in the latest mass killing of Palestinian civilians.
- The UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting over Israel’s ground invasion of Rafah as Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognised the state of Palestine.
- The UN says it has received about 170 trucks of humanitarian aid over the past three weeks – “a drop in the ocean” from the 500 trucks needed daily.
- Israel’s incursion launched in early May has forced one million people to flee Rafah, most of whom had already been displaced several times by Israel’s bloody war on Gaza.
- At least 36,171 Palestinians have been killed and 81,420 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attack is at least 1,139 with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
UNICEF: 600,000 children at risk in Gaza
Israel’s military offensive in Rafah has put the lives of 600,000 displaced children at risk, according to UNICEF, with many now malnourished or disabled.
“Rafah is a city of children,” UNICEF’s director of private fundraising and partnerships, Carla Haddad Mardini, wrote in a post on X. “The children in Gaza need a ceasefire now to prevent further suffering.”
‘The spirit of the United Nations is dead in Gaza’
“The UN cannot even protect its own staff. What are you waiting for to act? The spirit of the United Nations is dead in Gaza,” said Erdogan

WATCH: Displaced Palestinian reflects on loss and injustice faced in Khan Younis
Palestinians from Khan Younis have described devastating scenes upon returning to their hometown, largely reduced to rubble by Israel’s earlier invasion during the war.
Kamal Abu Tuaima, an elderly man from the neighbourhood of Bani Suheila, 2km (1.2 miles) east of the city, said he came back to find his house had been totally decimated.
“It took me 60 years to build my home. Everything I had I put into building the home. In the end, they stole it from me,” Abu Tuaima told Al Jazeera.
“I swear this is a crime. Who will hold them responsible for the crimes committed against us?”
