French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot called on Israel to allow the "immediate, massive and unhampered" resumption of aid to Gaza. Earlier on Sunday, the IDF launched strikes on sites including a hospital in northern Gaza. Strikes hit the southern city of Khan Younis, as well as towns in the north of Gaza, including Beit Lahia and the Jabalia refugee camp, rescuers said. The IDF has said its troops are fighting "terrorist infrastructure sites" in northern Gaza, including the area adjacent to the Indonesian Hospital. "Testimonies from released hostages describe significantly worsened treatment following military strikes, including physical abuse, restraint and reduced food," the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.
