Egypt's air force has dropped 45 tonnes of aid into northern and central Gaza. It said more will be delivered soon. The Egyptian deliveries are crucial as last week the World Food Programme suspended deliveries in northern Gaza because supplies were being looted.
UN aid agencies say they are being systematically prevented from carrying out their work in Gaza, and their staff are being attacked. The UN humanitarian agency, Ocha, said Israel soldiers had prevented a team from evacuating patients from Al Amal hospital in Khan Younis on Sunday. It said patients were forced out of ambulances and the medical team were made to strip. It said this was not an isolated incident. Israel has yet to comment.
