Hamas: 85 dead in 24 hours in more than 60 strikes that hit central and southern Gaza, including the town of Khan Younes. 25 people, most of them children, have already died of malnutrition and dehydration in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.

No break in fighting is expected for the start of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting which begins Monday in most Muslim countries. A first ship loaded with 200 tonnes of food was preparing to leave Cyprus for the Palestinian territory besieged and devastated by more than five months of war.
