GAZA STRIP: As Israel keeps restricting the entry of sufficient levels of aid, Palestinian families struggle to find adequate shelter, enough food, and essential water amid the destruction, according to Al Jazeera’s team on the ground.
The World Health Organization says 15,000 Palestinians who are desperately in need of medical treatment are awaiting medical evacuation from Gaza after 41 critical patients were evacuated yesterday, as the Rafah border crossing remains shut despite the ceasefire deal.

‘Palestinians are returning to nothing’ in Gaza City
There’s nothing left here: no homes, no schools, no public facilities; no roads even to walk, let alone drive, on.
This whole area that we remember so vividly was full of life here. Many of the public facilities, UNRWA schools and clinics, shops, department stores are all gone.
Many of the families here, they spend time walking long [distances] just to find water and other basic necessities, including food supplies, that are not available in the (needed) amount to address the deepening humanitarian crisis.
If it’s available, it’s available at a very high price beyond what most families can afford.
Rubio meeting with Netanyahu in Jerusalem
The Israeli prime minister’s office has shared a photo on social media of Netanyahu shaking hands with the US secretary of state.

Trump’s comments on Israeli annexation amount to rare ‘red line’
Yousef Munayyer, a senior fellow at the Arab Center Washington DC, has noted that Donald Trump’s comments on the prospect of Israel annexing the occupied West Bank are striking in the context of decades of unequivocal US support for Israel.
As we reported earlier, the US president told Time Magazine that if Israel goes ahead with a push to annex the Palestinian territory, the top US ally “would lose all of its support from the United States”.
“I’m not sure any American president has ever laid down such a clear red line relating to an Israeli action,” Munayyer wrote on social media.
“And it could all be bluster. But for an American president to utter the words ‘Israel would lose all of its support from the United States’ was previously thought to be sacrilege.”
The US has provided Israel with billions of dollars in military assistance during the country’s war on Gaza, along with unwavering diplomatic support. Observers say the Israeli government would not have been able to bombard the Gaza Strip without that aid from Washington.
