* Sabreen al-Rouh Jouda, a premature baby who was rescued from her mother’s womb after an Israeli air strike on Gaza, has died.

*The eastern part of Rafah is under constant artillery shelling as a senior Israeli official says the military is “moving ahead” with its planned ground invasion, ignoring a growing chorus of international warnings to call it off.

* Students and faculty members at US universities continue to protest in solidarity with Palestinians, with similar demonstrations also spreading in other countries.

* The UN chief’s spokesperson says it is “important that all forensic evidence be well preserved” from Gaza’s mass graves, but that a mandate from a UN legislative group is required to allow the world body to take legal possession of such material.

*At least 34,356 Palestinians have been killed and 77,368 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive in Gaza.
