This live blog on Day 113 of Israel's war on Gaza has concluded. Make sure to follow us for the latest news on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
Thousands of civilians were trapped in southern Gaza as Israel intensified its attack on the Palestinian enclave on Saturday, a day after the top UN court ruled Israel must prevent genocidal acts.
Growing alarm has focused on Khan Younis, the biggest city in Gaza's south, where the two main hospitals were barely functioning under the weight of the relentless bombardment and the press of thousands in need.
Witnesses reported more overnight strikes on Khan Younis, the current epicentre of Israel's assault on Gaza, and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said some of the dead and wounded had been taken to the city's barely functioning Al-Amal hospital.
The strikes came less than a day after the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that Israel must prevent possible acts of genocide in its war on the Gaza Strip, in a case that was brought forward by South Africa.
The court stopped short of calling for an end to the fighting but also said in its ruling that Israel must facilitate "urgently needed" humanitarian assistance.
