Our live coverage from Gaza will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are some of the day’s key developments:

  • Gaza’s Ministry of Health says hospitals across the territory have received 80 bodies and treated 304 people for injuries over the past 24 hours, as Israel’s assault continues.

  • Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza on 7 October 2023, the death toll has now climbed to 57,418, with 136,261 injured, according to the ministry.

  • Gaza’s Health Ministry says eight people have been killed by Israel and more than 40 wounded in incidents linked to aid distribution in the past 24 hours alone.

  • The figures bring the total number of Palestinians killed while trying to access food and essential aid to 751, with at least 4,931 wounded since the war began.

  • Israeli warplanes have carried out a wave of air strikes across Lebanon, hitting several regions from the east to the south of the country, according to local media and video shared online.

  • Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called on the international community to take a stand against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

  • “We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war,” Lula told the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.

  • Yemen’s Houthis said on Sunday that the group carried out an attack on Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, stating that it caused “millions to flee shelters and halting air traffic”.

  • The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it is preparing to launch another aid mission to Gaza, weeks after Israeli forces seized one of its vessels in international waters.
