59 Palestinians in Gaza are killed by Israeli airstrikes or shot dead while seeking aid
Briefly

On Saturday in the Gaza Strip, at least 31 Palestinians were shot dead en route to an aid distribution site, while Israeli airstrikes resulted in 28 additional deaths, including four children. There is no progress in ceasefire negotiations following talks between U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. A Red Cross field hospital experienced its largest surge of fatalities in over a year, with the majority of the injured having gunshot wounds. The ongoing conflict has exacerbated food insecurity as Israel restricts aid access, and former hostage Eli Sharabi criticized Israeli leaders for their arrogance contributing to the disaster.
