Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry reports 33 deaths, including 12 children, from malnutrition in the last 48 hours as humanitarian conditions worsen. The total death toll from malnutrition since 2023 now stands at 101, with 80 being children. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned Gaza’s “last lifelines” are collapsing under Israel’s continued offensive. The World Health Organization says Israel’s ground assault in central Gaza is hampering humanitarian operations. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned the “grotesque” suffering. Israel claims its troops came under fire in Deir al-Balah and remains in contact with aid agencies operating in the region. (PC: BBC)
