Israel accepts Gaza death toll figures as Red Cross warns of dire conditions

Israel has accepted that Gaza's health authority death toll figures are broadly accurate, with officials stating around 70,000 people have died. The International Committee of the Red Cross described the humanitarian situation as 'dramatic' and 'dire,' urging the world to urgently address the conditions. Separately, a photo from a 2025 protest in Amsterdam was falsely linked to a court appearance by South African politician Julius Malema.
