After setting off from Cyprus, a ship loaded with 1,200 tons of food supplies for the Gaza Strip was approaching the Israeli port of Ashdod on Tuesday in a renewed effort to alleviate the worsening crisis as famine threatens the Palestinian territory.

Overnight, the Israeli army carried out a limited incursion into the Al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling that left five people dead. Israel has killed more than 62,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says talks are underway with several countries about taking in Palestinians displaced by the war in Gaza.

Indonesia marked its independence day by sending almost 18 tonnes of essentials into Gaza with the help of the Jordanian air force, but how effective was the "special gift" to the Muslim nation's "brothers and sisters"?

The plan would envisage people moving from an enclave shattered by almost two years of war with Israel to a nation in the heart of Africa riven by political and ethnically-driven violence.

Israeli ex-military intelligence chief said Gaza's high death toll is "necessary" to send a message to Palestinians

Hamas said that Israel's plan to relocate residents from Gaza City constitutes a "new wave of genocide and displacement" for hundreds of thousands.
