Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest updates:

• A plane carrying 153 Palestinians has arrived in South Africa via a controversial transit scheme. An Israeli official told AP that an organisation called Al-Majd arranged the journey. Activists say the scheme was closely coordinated with Israeli authorities as a way to encourage the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

• Meanwhile, Gaza's civil defence teams are scrambling to assist displaced Palestinians whose tents have been flooded in makeshift camps in Gaza City and Khan Younis.

• Wafa news agency is reporting that Israeli forces conducted three attacks across Gaza: in Gaza City's Shujaiya neighbourhood and northern Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp, while in the south of the enclave, Israeli naval vessels also fired towards the coast of Rafah.
