The UN condemned the "large number of civilian casualties" in northern Gaza as Israeli strikes intensified, targeting Hamas fighters. Over 50,000 civilians have fled Jabalia, but many remain trapped. At least 10 people were killed at a food distribution center, and multiple shelters and medical facilities were closed. A UN-run school, used as a shelter, was hit by tank fire, resulting in 20 deaths. The offensive also halted a major polio vaccination campaign. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed the need to protect civilians, as the humanitarian situation worsens.
