"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Thousands Killed in Gaza, IDF Investigates Strikes on Aid Seekers"

A strike on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza City killed at least 70 people, bringing the death toll since the start of the Israel-Hamas war to more than 30,000, with another 70,457 wounded. The U.N. warns of further mass casualties if Israel attacks the southernmost city of Rafah, where more than half of Gaza’s population has taken refuge. Aid delivery to Gaza has been hampered by ongoing hostilities, breakdown of public order, and difficulty coordinating with the Israeli military, leading to a dire humanitarian crisis with a quarter of Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians facing starvation and around 80% having fled their homes.
