In Gaza, UNICEF reported that Israeli fire killed two truck drivers it had contracted to deliver clean water to Palestinian families on Friday. Israeli attacks have killed more than 750 ⁠Palestinians since last October’s so-called ceasefire. It comes as U.N. Women published a report detailing how Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls since 2023. This is the chief of humanitarian action at U.N. Women.

Sofia Calltorp: “Between October 2023 and December 2025, more than 38,000 women and girls were killed in Gaza, the result of Israeli air bombardment and land military operations. This includes over 22,000 women and 16,000 girls, amounting to an average of at least 47 women and girls killed every day. Women and girls accounted for a proportion of deaths far higher than those observed in previous conflicts in Gaza.”
