Good morning, Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates:

  • At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza this morning, according to medical sources.

  • This included attacks on a school where eight Palestinians were killed in shelters, and on the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps.

  • This followed the killing of 33 people by Israeli forces across the enclave on Friday.

  • Palestinian civil defence reported that its teams had recovered two bodies from northern Rafah.

  • A Palestinian man was shot and injured during an Israeli raid on the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah.

  • The UN has called for a "full investigation" into the killing by Israeli forces of American-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi.

  • Unrwa is continuing its polio vaccination campaign in southern Gaza, despite Unicef reporting that Israeli troops had blocked its teams from accessing communities in the area.
