Continuous Israeli strikes on Khan Younis have killed 50 people, including 12 children, as it's military onslaught continues across the Gaza Strip.

This includes operations in northern Gaza, where a strike on the Al-Falluja area of northern Gaza killed 20 people, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.

93 days of war in Gaza has led to renewed concern in the UN over the risk of famine across the enclave with Al Jazeera reporting UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres wrote a letter to the Security Council warning of "widespread famine" if aid deliveries to Gaza aren't increased. 

He added that "a public health catastrophe is rapidly evolving in Gaza" following the breakdown in the health sector in the enclave. 

22,835 Palestinians have been killed since the start of Israel's operations in Gaza, according to Gaza's health ministry, with a further 58,416 injured. 

As the situation in Gaza deteriorates Israel continues to conduct large scale raids in cities across the occupied West Bank. This includes in Jenin where an Israeli drone strike killed 6 Palestinians during a raid in the city.

A member of the Israeli border police was also killed in clashes during the Jenin raid after an explosive device detonated by an Israeli vehicle, according to Israel's border police. Three others were injured during the operation.
