At least 74 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Monday, including 36 aid seekers, as the UN warns that 28 children are dying a day from Israeli bombardment and lack of aid.
A nurse at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah was killed when he was hit by an air-dropped box dropped from the air, a medical source has told Al Jazeera.
Hamas says it is open to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delivering aid to Israeli captives in Gaza if Israel opens “humanitarian corridors” to deliver aid to all people in Gaza.
That comes as authorities in Gaza say an average of 84 trucks have entered the besieged enclave a day since Israel somewhat eased restrictions on July 27. Aid organisations say at least 600 aid trucks are needed per day to meet the territory’s basic needs.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 60,933 people and wounded 150,027. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
