More than 3,050 people were reported killed from January to June and another 1,400 injured, according to UN statistics released on Tuesday. An Israeli military strike overnight into Tuesday also destroyed a warehouse storing nutrition supplies intended for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers in Gaza, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) said. Three Palestinians were killed and others injured in a strike on a home in Beit Lahiya, near Kamal Adwan Hospital, on Tuesday, a source at al-Shifa Hospital said.

"First, the number of mesothelioma cases per year [in people] under the age of 40 in Britain has increased over the last five or six years - it has increased from 2.5 cases per year to five cases per year," said Prof Julian Peto. In an interview with Fox News on August 17, Trump said that Israel “should not be striking in Gaza”, and that “Hamas agreed to lay down their weapons” under the terms of a US-backed peace plan. He said members of Viv Ansanm, a powerful gang coalition that the US has designated as a foreign terrorist organisation, also set fire to 25 homes. The 26-year-old said her world "turned upside down" when she found out her mum had incurable cancer.

Cardiff council said it would be inappropriate to comment on legal proceedings in progress. "She never had the sort of career that would have exposed her to asbestos," said Caroline's daughter Brooklyn. Brooklyn said after looking back through her mum's life, they had begun to believe she had been exposed to asbestos at her old high school, the old Fitzalan site in Cardiff.
