UN reports nearly 400,000 displaced after Gaza ceasefire collapse

The UN said nearly 400,000 Palestinians have been displaced in Gaza since Israel shattered the recent ceasefire deal, with no arrangements made for civilian safety.

"Our humanitarian colleagues tell us that across Gaza, Israeli attacks continue unabated, causing systematic, large-scale civilian casualties," UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at a news conference.

The people in Gaza "including many children, are being killed, injured and maimed for life," Dujarric said.

"Survivors across Gaza are being displaced repeatedly and forced into an ever-shrinking space where their basic needs just cannot be met. Overall, we estimate that nearly 400,000 people have been displaced yet again since the breakdown of the ceasefire. That's 18 percent of all Palestinians in Gaza."

Multiple UN agencies call for urgent renewal of ceasefire in Gaza

The heads of six UN agencies called for an urgent renewal of the ceasefire in Gaza, warning of severe aid shortages and the mounting civilian death toll since Israel resumed its war on March 18.

No new humanitarian supplies have entered the Palestinian enclave since Israel blocked the entry of aid trucks on March 2, as talks for the next stage of a now-broken truce and a deal for the release of the remaining hostages.

"More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck," said a statement co-signed by the heads of six UN agencies including the UN's aid coordination agency (OCHA) and the World Food Programme.

Israeli police release Netanyahu aide to house arrest

Israeli police released Jonatan Urich, a media adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to house arrest after a court order amid investigations into allegations of receiving money from Qatar to promote its image in the Israeli media.

According to the public broadcaster KAN, Urich, alongside Eli Feldstein, another Netanyahu aide, is suspected of involvement in "a series of serious offences, including bribery, fraud, breach of trust, leaking classified information, money laundering and contact with a foreign agent".

According to the testimony from an unnamed investigator, Urich allegedly "passed messages to the press under the prime minister's office name, believed to have been relayed through a party with financial and political ties to Qatar, appearing as if from an official or security source", KAN said.

Israeli troops shot Gaza crew 'with intent to kill': Red Crescent

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said that 15 medics and rescuers killed by Israeli forces last month in Gaza were shot in the upper body with "intent to kill".

The killings occurred in southern Gaza on March 23, days into a renewed Israeli offensive in the war-ravaged territory. They have since sparked international condemnation, with Israel insisting there were militants in the ambulances.

The PRCS announcement came as Hamas and rescuers said an Israeli strike on southern Gaza killed one journalist and wounded nine others, while the Israeli military reported it targeted a militant posing as a reporter.

The journalist is one of at least 12 people killed in Israeli strikes across the Palestinian territory on Monday, according to Gaza's civil defence agency.
