STORYLINE:

Israel said on Tuesday that a delivery of vital prescription drugs will enter Gaza on Wednesday under a Qatari-brokered agreement.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 24,285, the Gaza-based Health Ministry said on Tuesday.

Gaza is in desperate need of medical aid after Israel cut the enclave off medicines, food, fuel, and water supply as part of its retaliatory assault.

"The unprecedented death toll in Gaza has reached over 24,200, and more than 61,000 are injured. Currently, every single person in Gaza is hungry, and famine is imminent, according to the UN human rights office in a published statement. The Palestinians in Gaza now make up 80 percent of all people facing famine or catastrophic hunger globally, marking unparalleled humanitarian crises amid Israel's continued bombardment and siege."

STANDUP 2 (English): ZHANG TIANLANG, Xinhua correspondent in Jerusalem
"Israeli media on Tuesday quoted officials as saying that over 50 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip to multiple towns in southern Israel in the morning. No injuries were reported. This is one of the largest rocket attacks launched from Gaza in several weeks."
