- Rare aerial footage highlights the extensive destruction across Gaza, showing burnt buildings and vast tent encampments stretching towards the horizon.
- The United Nations reports that 92 per cent of homes in Gaza are either destroyed or damaged, with rebuilding efforts estimated to take 21 years if the conflict were to cease.
- Ceasefire negotiations have collapsed, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly favouring a complete military takeover of Gaza.
- This proposed military takeover would involve widening the current, already devastating offensive on the strip.
