Nearly 100 Palestinians have died in Gaza due to airstrikes and shootings, including dozens seeking aid. The Gaza Health Ministry reports 94 deaths overnight, with 45 at aid sites. Five were killed near GHF distribution centers, an American organization backed by Israel. Another 33 died waiting for aid trucks.
Amnesty International accused Israel of "militarizing" aid, a claim Israel denies. The Gaza Health Ministry says over 500 Palestinians have died near GHF centers in the past month. Witnesses accuse Israeli forces of firing on crowds. Amnesty's Secretary General says hundreds have died near aid sites.
Israel rejects genocide allegations and is challenging them in court. The Israel Foreign Ministry accused Amnesty of supporting Hamas. The GHF has distributed millions of meals.
Ceasefire efforts continue. A US proposal includes hostage releases for Palestinian prisoners. An Israeli spokesperson said the goal is to release hostages and defeat Hamas.
The war began with a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Israel's military response has killed over 57,000 Palestinians and displaced most of the population.

Blaming Israel for all the deaths ignores the fact that Hamas is firing from populated areas. They are the ones putting civilians in danger.

The deaths are a tragedy, but this isn't genocide. It's a war with tragic consequences.

Another biased report. Framing the aid distribution as a massacre ignores the presence of Hamas fighters in the crowds.

Israel’s response has been disproportionate and is causing a humanitarian catastrophe.

The fact that dozens of people seeking aid were killed. Is simply heartbreaking.
