Health authorities in the Gaza Strip announced on the 29th that the death toll since fighting between the Israeli army and the Islamic group Hamas began on October 7 last year has reached 30,035. The humanitarian situation in the area continues to deteriorate, and UNRWA has revealed that the amount of aid supplies brought into the area has been cut in half this month compared to January.
The outcome of negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding a cessation of fighting and the release of hostages, which are being mediated by Qatar and others, remains uncertain.
