🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 5 killed (2 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 11 injured arriving at hospitals.

▪️Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025:
- Total killed 376
- Total injured 981
- Total previously killed bodies recovered 626

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 70,365 and 171,058 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

🚨Gaza Media Office: Israel Allowing Only 28% of Agreed Aid (171 Trucks/Day); Bans 350 Food Items

Israel is violating the humanitarian protocol of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the Gaza Media Office said Thursday:

▪️Only 4,453 trucks have entered out of 15,600 agreed since the ceasefire began—just 28% of the total. 

▪️Daily entries average 171 trucks, far below the 600 promised.

▪️Officials say Israel is enforcing a starvation policy by banning over 350 essential food items, including eggs, meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, and infant or medical supplements. 

Meanwhile, Israel allows in low-nutrition goods such as soda, chocolate, and chips, which now sell for up to 15 times their normal price due to its control over Gaza’s supply routes and commercial market access.

The statement warns that Gaza urgently needs at least 600 trucks daily carrying food, fuel, and medical supplies to sustain 2.4 million residents after two years of siege and destruction. Full statement is below.

🚨BREAKING: The Israeli government has decided to expand its control zone in Gaza beyond the “Yellow Line,” after coordinating the move with the U.S., according to Kan News, Israel’s public broadcaster. The information has also been reported by 

Prime Minister Netanyahu held a meeting with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief Eyal Zamir, intelligence coordinator Nitzan Alon, and Shin Bet head David Zini to discuss a response. The decision follows disputes with Hamas over the return of captives’ bodies. 

Israel has also reportedly halted Red Cross tours inside the Yellow Line and is considering further restricting aid to an already famine-ravaged Gaza. 

Mediators had proposed joint recovery teams from the U.S., Israel, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, but Israel allowed only Egyptian entry of couple excavators after two weeks. Egyptian teams have since reported difficulties locating remains.
