— The group accused Hamas of spreading misinformation and causing panic that led to violence, though it provided no evidence.
— Her report criticizes the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Fund as a façade that perpetuates suffering, enabling the forced displacement of a bombed and besieged population.
— Part of its ongoing purge of USAID. The "high-energy biscuits", intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid. Despite repeated assurances from the administration not to eliminate food aid, U.S. warehouses around the world currently house 60,000 tonnes of food, including peas and cereal originally bound for famine-stricken Sudan, which the administration is now unable to deliver even if it wanted to after gutting USAID and firing logistical experts.
— Until now, Palestinian nationals from Gaza arriving in France were generally granted subsidiary protection, a temporary status lasting up to four years, typically reserved for individuals fleeing armed conflict.
— "Fuel is the backbone of survival in Gaza. It powers hospitals, water systems, sanitation networks, ambulances, and every aspect of humanitarian operations. Fuel supplies are needed to move the fleet used for transporting essential goods across the Strip and to operate a network of bakeries producing fresh bread for the affected population. Without fuel, these lifelines will vanish for 2.1 million people. For the first time in 130 days, a small amount of fuel entered Gaza this week. This is a welcome development, but it is a small fraction of what is needed each day to keep daily life and critical aid operations running."

— "We'll see what happens — we are going to know over the next 24 hours," he told reporters early Friday morning, saying that it was up to Hamas to agree to the framework of the deal because Israel already had. Israeli officials have not said publicly whether or not they've agreed.
— United Nations rapporteur called for countries to cut off trade with Israel and impose an arms embargo, saying 'Israel is responsible for one of the cruellest genocides in modern history.'
— An officially private effort with opaque funding, the GHF began operations on May 26 after Israel halted supplies into Gaza for more than two months. Its operations have been marred by chaotic scenes and near-daily reports of mass casualty incidents. The GHF is based in the US state of Delaware, with a subsidiary registered in Geneva.
— The report, based on over 200 submissions, expands a June 2023 UN database, highlighting Gaza's destruction and corporate involvement in supporting Israeli actions: names over 60 companies across tech, arms, energy, and finance sectors, alleging their involvement in supporting Israel’s military and occupation activities. Scheduled for presentation to the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday, NGOs call for sanctions, divestments, and re-evaluation of ties, likely increasing pressure on governments and companies.Scheduled for presentation to the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday, NGOs call for sanctions, divestments, and re-evaluation of ties, likely increasing pressure on governments and companies.
