Qatar confirms that Hamas has responded positively to a Gaza ceasefire proposal, including a 60-day truce. Israel has not responded yet. At least eight people were killed in Israeli attacks on tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis, and four more in an attack on a tent in Deir el-Balah.

It comes a day after Hamas said it accepted a proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of the 50 hostages would be freed.

Hamas said that Israel's plan to relocate residents from Gaza City constitutes a "new wave of genocide and displacement" for hundreds of thousands.

A ship loaded with 1,200 tons of food supplies for Gaza is approaching the Israeli port of Ashdod. It's expected to dock on Tuesday as part of renewed efforts to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory.

Israel is ethnically cleansing the central neighborhood of Zeitoun in Gaza by bombing homes and displacement centres.

The Israeli military said the relocation plan is necessary to protect civilians amid the ongoing two-year war, which has led to a humanitarian crisis.

The State Department announced over the weekend it will be pausing visitor visas from Gaza over claims some recipients may have ties to terrorist groups.
