Gaza Civil Defence Says Israeli Attacks Kill 68 In 24 Hours
Gaza City: Gaza's civil defence agency said 68 people were killed by Israeli gunfire and air strikes on Tuesday, including 56 who were waiting near aid distribution sites inside the Palestinian territory. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that 30 people were killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid near the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. The army told AFP that troops "fired warning shots" in the direction "a gathering of Gazans advancing" towards them in the so-called Morag corridor in the south, but added it was "not aware of any casualties as a result". Bassal said another 20 people were killed and 100 wounded by Israeli fire near the Zikim border crossing in northern Gaza, through which some aid trucks have entered the territory in recent weeks. An AFP journalist reported seeing at least a dozen bodies brought to northern Gaza's Hamad Hospital, where a medical source said the victims had been killed in the incident near Zikim. The army told AFP it was looking into the details of the incident. According to Bassal, six more people were killed and 21 injured by Israeli fire in central Gaza while waiting for food near a distribution centre. The Israeli army, however, denied having opened fire near any aid site in central Gaza on Tuesday. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence and the army. Thousands of Gazans gather daily near food distribution points across Gaza, including four belonging to the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Since launching in late May, its operations have been marred by near-daily reports of Israeli forces firing on those waiting to collect rations. Israeli restrictions on the entry of supplies into Gaza since the start of the war nearly 22 months ago have led to shortages of food and essential goods, including medicine and fuel, which hospitals rely on to power their generators. - 'No safety' - Bassal said another five people were killed in a predawn air strike on a tent in Al-Mawasi in south Gaza, an area Israeli authorities designated as a safe zone early in the war. "It's said to be a green zone and it's safe, but it's not. They also say that the aid (distribution) is safe, but people die while obtaining aid," said Adham Younes, 30, who lost a relative in the strike. "There's no safety within the Gaza Strip, everyone is exposed to death, everyone is subject to injury." Mahmud Younes, who said he witnessed the strike, told AFP: "We found women screaming -- they were covered in blood. The entire family has been injured." Bassal also reported six people killed in a strike near Gaza City, and one in another near Khan Yunis. The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said in a statement Tuesday that they had bombarded an Israeli command-and-control centre in south Gaza's Israeli-controlled Morag corridor. The army said it had no record of such an attack taking place on Tuesday.

Trump plans to 'take over' Gaza humanitarian aid amid starvation crisis: Report
US President Donald Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff have discussed plans for Washington to significantly increase its involvement in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, Axios reported, citing US and Israeli officials. The conversation took place during a Monday evening meeting at the White House following Witkoff's return from visits to Israel and stalled ceasefire talks and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's push to expand the war, US officials have expressed growing concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis in to Axios, a US official said that the Trump administration will "take over" the management of aid operations in Gaza due to what Washington views as Israel's inadequate handling of the crisis. While Trump is reportedly reluctant to assume such a role, he sees no viable alternative. 'The starvation problem in Gaza is getting worse. Donald Trump does not like that. He does not want babies to starve. He wants mothers to be able to nurse their children. He's becoming fixated on that," a US official told Axios. The administration's plan is expected to include financial contributions from Gulf nations such as Qatar, as well as logistical cooperation from Jordan and Egypt. However, Trump is determined that the United States should not bear the financial burden alone, and is urging European and Arab allies to step up their US reluctance, Israeli officials have welcomed Washington's leadership on humanitarian aid, viewing it as a way to alleviate international pressure and improve conditions on the ground without stalling military Netanyahu is reportedly preparing to push for the full occupation of Gaza, including high-risk areas where Israeli hostages are believed to be held. The move is contentious within Israel's own defence establishment, with senior military officials warning it could endanger the hostages and force Israel into full control of Gaza's civilian to The Jerusalem Post, the Prime Minister's Office instructed the IDF Chief of Staff to implement the new directive or step Israeli security cabinet is expected to vote on the expansion plan on Thursday. Any escalation, however, could complicate Trump's efforts to boost humanitarian aid while avoiding deeper US involvement in the crisis.- Ends
