Five people, including two children, died from malnutrition and starvation in Gaza over the previous 24 hours, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says, bringing the total number of deaths from such cases to 322 since the start of the war.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military has stepped up armed operations around Gaza City on Friday, ending temporary pauses there that had allowed for aid deliveries.
The assault on Gaza City has gradually intensified over the past week as Israel has urged civilians to leave for the south of the Palestinian enclave.
Israeli fire across the besieged Palestinian enclave killed 48 people on Friday, local health authorities say.
