Evening recap

Our live blog will shortly be closing until tomorrow morning.

Here are the day’s key developments:

  • At least 60 Palestinians have been killed and another 162 wounded in Israeli attacks across the enclave in the last 24 hours, Gaza’s health ministry is reporting.

  • Israeli forces have killed at least 30 Palestinians in fresh attacks on Gaza since dawn.

  • Unrwa chief Phillipe Lazzarini has said, citing a report by UNICEF, that at least 100 children have been killed in Israeli attacks daily since strikes resumed on 18 March.

  • Unicef has sounded the alarm: more than a million children in Gaza have been cut off from life-saving aid for over a month.

  • New video evidence relating to the killing of 15 Palestinian rescue workers by Israeli forces has emerged, contradicting the Israeli account of the attack on a medical convoy in Rafah last week. 

  • Hamas has said in a statement that the new footage that has emerged showing Israeli forces attacking Palestinian medics is “irrefutable visual evidence” that  proves the “systematic targeting of humanitarian personnel” by the army and constitutes “a premeditated murder under international law”.

  • Martin Griffiths, the former UN humanitarian chief and current executive director of Mediation Group International, has condemned Israel’s killing of 15 aid workers in Gaza as “almost certainly a war crime”.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to the White House on Monday for a surprise visit to meet US President Donald Trump, according to Israeli and White House officials speaking anonymously to Reuters.

  • US warplanes have pounded Yemen’s Saada province once again, leaving one person dead and four others wounded in Hafsin, west of the city.
