 9 Sep 2024

Over 630,000 students in Gaza will miss school on Monday due to ongoing disruptions from Israel's conflict with the Palestinian territory, affecting education for a second consecutive year. The Israeli bombardment has also led to mobile phone and internet outages in central and southern Gaza, as reported by Paltel and Wafa news agency.

The King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge between the occupied West Bank and Jordan will reopen on Monday morning after a brief closure following an attack that killed three Israeli security guards. The attacker has been identified as a Jordanian citizen.

The conflict has resulted in at least 40,972 deaths and 94,761 injuries in Gaza. In Israel, the death toll from Hamas-led attacks on October 7 stands at least 1,139, with over 200 people taken captive.
