Overview
- A seventh small group of 41 Palestinians entered Gaza via Rafah on Tuesday evening, with returnees transported on WHO buses to Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.
- Official tallies diverge: Gaza authorities cite 172 returnees and about 250 evacuees since Feb. 2, the EU team counted 284 total movements by Sunday, and another report lists 275 departures and 213 returns against an expected 1,800.
- Palestinians reentering Gaza report humiliating searches and interrogations at Israeli-controlled screening points on the crossing’s Palestinian side.
- Medical evacuations remain far below the ceasefire’s stated target of 50 patients per day, despite an estimated 20,000 people needing treatment outside Gaza.
- Israeli strikes continued with at least seven Palestinians killed on Tuesday and new shelling reported Wednesday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved revoking citizenship and deporting two Palestinian citizens to Gaza after they complete prison sentences.
