In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahia has killed at least 15 people, with others feared trapped under the rubble. Dozens more were injured in the assault. Elsewhere, more than a dozen Palestinians were rescued with injuries after an Israeli assault on Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood.

Meanwhile, a new report by a U.N. partner agency finds a half-million people in the Gaza Strip face catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity, putting them at risk of severe malnutrition and death. The report found nearly all of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are experiencing acute hunger. Máximo Torero is chief economist at the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization.

Máximo Torero: “The latest data show that on a regular basis more than half of the population — more than half of the population — does not have any food to eat in the house, and over 20% going entire days and nights without eating.”
