[HIGHLIGHTS] [Updated from time to time on the 28th] The death toll since the start of the conflict approaches 30,000

The death toll since clashes between Israel and Hamas began in October last year has reached 29,878, approaching 30,000. Health officials in the Gaza Strip announced on the 27th that 96 new people had been killed in the past 24 hours.

The Qatari government, which is acting as a mediator for negotiations on a cessation of hostilities, stated that no agreement had yet been reached.
