According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in the territory in nearly a month of war.

The United Nations on Monday said that 88 staffers have been killed in Gaza, marking the highest toll ever for UN fatalities recorded in a single conflict. A joint statement from the heads of all major UN agencies stated that the figure represents “the highest number of United Nations fatalities ever recorded in a single conflict”.

Gaza lost communications in its third total outage of the conflict so far, as Israel’s military said it had divided the Palestinian territory into two.

Israeli media reported the country’s troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours, having encircled the area.

Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza overnight, with the conflict now in its fifth week after Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October.

On the ground, Israeli forces in Gaza have reported finding stashes of weapons, at times including explosives, suicide drones and missiles as they operate in the territory.

Gaza’s health ministry has said 10,022 Palestinians have been killed, with more than 4,000 of them children and minors.

Officials in Israel have said 1,400 people have been killed in the country during the conflict.

The Gaza border authority has said the Rafah crossing which allows people in the Palestinian territory to cross into Egypt is open again.

Egyptians and foreign nationals who are on an approved list are able to cross.
