The United Nations has reported increased Israeli military activity north of the Blue Line in Lebanon, calling it a violation of Security Council resolution 1701 and Lebanon's sovereignty. UNIFIL peacekeepers observed extensive Israeli presence, new infrastructure, and demolition work likely supporting military operations. While no projectile launches from Hezbollah militants have been detected since June 21, tensions remain high with daily Israeli airspace violations, along with ground and naval activities. UNIFIL facilitated 20 humanitarian missions amid these conditions.
In Gaza, UN teams collected hundreds of pallets of aid supplies at the Kerem Shalom-Karem Abu Salem crossing, including items for infants and schoolchildren. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported supporting the medical evacuation of over 13,000 patients from Gaza since October 2023, including more than 6,000 children. WHO stressed the urgent need for specialized treatment unavailable in Gaza and called for the reopening of referral pathways to hospitals in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The UN's Special Coordinator and humanitarian chief visited Gaza, including the Emirati field hospital in Rafah.
