According to Hamas, nine people, including women and children, were killed in Gaza on the same day as a result of Israeli military shelling. This happened amid accusations by Hamas that Israel was continuing its attacks, violating the terms of the ceasefire agreement. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 68,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war, and the number of victims is rising as rescue operations continue under the rubble. At the same time, international organizations are calling for an improvement in the humanitarian situation in the region and the restoration of infrastructure.

During the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas reported the arrival of humanitarian aid, although access to the territory remains limited due to the closure of border crossings. The United States also stressed the need to fulfill promises to return all bodies of the dead, saying it would continue to support Israel in this situation.
