  • Wafa news agency reports that a Palestinian man died from his injuries after he was shot in the head by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Beit Umar. 
  • World Health Organisation chief Tedros Ghebreyesus has said a ceasefire in Gaza is “essential to allow an effective response” to the spread of the poliovirus in the Palestinian territory.
