The essentials of the day before
Ramadan began Monday in Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Territories and many Muslim countries with no prospect of a truce in Gaza.
A ship from the Spanish NGO Open Arms loaded with 200 tonnes of food is waiting to leave Cyprus as part of a maritime corridor that the European Union and countries such as the United States and the United Arab Emirates want to establish.
The Hamas Ministry of Health announced on Monday a new toll of 31,112 people killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement.
Please note: the number of victims is provided by the Hamas-led Gaza Ministry of Health.
The ministry collects information provided by hospitals in the enclave and by the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Gaza Health Ministry does not indicate how the Palestinians were killed, whether by Israeli airstrikes and/or barrages or failed Palestinian rocket attacks.
It describes all victims as victims of "Israeli aggression" and also does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
During the four wars and numerous skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, United Nations agencies regularly cited Health Ministry figures in their reports.
The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Palestinian Red Crescent also use these figures.
In the aftermath of previous episodes of war, the United Nations Humanitarian Office published casualty figures based on its own research into medical records.
The UN figures largely agree with those of the Gaza Ministry of Health, with a few differences.
