The United Nations has warned that levels of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza are at their highest since the war began. Most aid has been blocked from entering Gaza since Israel imposed a total blockade in March after ending a ceasefire. Deliveries have since partially resumed, though aid organisations say the flow is far below what is needed.

Families of hostages held in Gaza are stepping up their campaign to secure their release by holding a strike across Israel.

Israel announced Saturday that it's preparing to move Palestinians from combat zones as plans move ahead for a military offensive in some of the territory’s most populated areas.
