On the 60th day since the ceasefire began in Gaza, Israeli forces carried out new airstrikes and artillery shelling on several areas of the Strip.

According to media sources, Israeli forces detonated an explosive-laden armored vehicle in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, and Israeli aircraft launched strikes on the eastern areas of the city, as well as on Rafah and Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.

For its part, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that humanitarian conditions in Gaza remain dire and that needs far exceed the capacity of the humanitarian community to respond, due to the ongoing obstacles faced by the UN, including insecurity, customs-clearance difficulties, delays and rejection of goods at border crossings, and the limited number of roads available to transport humanitarian supplies inside Gaza.

OCHA also confirmed that Israeli authorities prevented 295 contractors, 28 UN staff members, and 21 healthcare workers from participating in UN missions inside Gaza.
