Israeli air attacks on al-Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City have killed at least 20 people, including nine children, according to medical sources.
In its latest daily update, the Health Ministry in Gaza says Israeli attacks over the latest 24-hour reporting period have killed at least 81 people and wounded 422 others.
The killings come a day after US President Donald Trump said a ceasefire in Gaza could be reached “within the next week”.
Gaza’s Government Media Office says revelations in the Israeli media that soldiers were ordered to “deliberately shoot” starving Palestinians seeking aid supplies are further evidence of “war crimes” in Gaza.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 56,412 people and wounded 133,054, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
