North Gaza

A resident of North Gaza says that a full year after last year's olive harvest, his family is again picking olives while living under war and hardship. Writing about the annual harvest, he describes the trees as a source of strength but says the struggle to survive grows harder every day, with his family still enduring displacement and danger.

A man named Mohammed from North Gaza says the bombing never stops and that no one is spared, including the area's Christian residents. He reports his family is struggling and that a fundraiser he set up has received no support for ten days, as he appeals for help surviving what he calls a nightmare. The message highlights the worsening humanitarian conditions in northern Gaza, where residents say aid and donations have dwindled.

Reports from Gaza say Israeli tanks opened fire and demolitions were carried out north of Al-Bureij camp, with additional demolition activity detected in the north-eastern area of the camp. The alerts, relayed by the Palestinian news outlet RNN, describe what is characterised as punitive demolition of homes amid the ongoing military operation in the central Gaza Strip.

Medical sources say one Palestinian was killed and several others injured in an Israeli drone strike near the Abbas Al-Kilani Roundabout in Beit Lahia, in the north of the Gaza Strip. The body of the victim and the wounded were taken to hospital following the afternoon strike.

Ahmed Abu Mur was shot and killed by Israeli forces on Saleh al-Din Street, east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The killing was announced with the message that Ahmed 'was not a number', mourning him as an individual rather than a casualty statistic. Deaths along the main north-south route in Gaza have been frequently reported amid ongoing Israeli military operations.
