Overview
- Health officials said at least four Palestinians were killed in separate strikes near Salahudeen Road and by a hospital in Deir al-Balah, and the Israeli military did not comment.
- Gaza authorities reported 377 Israeli violations of the truce in April that they say caused 111 deaths and 376 injuries.
- Humanitarian access stayed far below need in April with just over 4,500 aid trucks entering Gaza, which officials estimate is about one quarter of required supplies.
- Fuel scarcity is curbing hospital operations and basic utilities, which limits surgery, cold storage for medicines, and water and wastewater services.
- A Hamas delegation met mediators in Cairo to discuss phase two of the U.S.-brokered plan, and sources said progress was limited as the war’s toll passed 72,500 Palestinian deaths with at least 800 killed since the ceasefire and Israel reporting four soldiers killed.
