Gaza ceasefire talks live: negotiators due in Cairo as Israeli attacks continue
"Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, is reporting that six Palestinian people have been killed since dawn in Israeli attacks. It is reported that four civilians were killed waiting for aid near distribution centers northwest of Rafah, one man was killed in Israeli shelling targeting Gaza City and another man was killed by Israeli forces near an aid distribution centre around the Netzarim junction."
"Despite international opposition, Israel launched a ground offensive in Gaza City last month as the military expanded its assault on the city after weeks of intense bombardments. A famine caused by Israeli restrictions on aid has been declared in the city and its surrounding area and hundreds of thousands of people have evacuated southward after being ordered by the IDF to do so."
"On Sunday, witnesses told the Reuters news agency that Israeli planes escalated attacks across Gaza City, the territory's biggest urban centre and an area that Israel claims to be the last bastion of Hamas. Sunday's attacks followed a tense night in which drones dropped grenades on the rooftops of residential buildings and troops blew up explosive-laden vehicles, demolishing dozens of houses in two Gaza City neighbourhoods, Sabra and Sheikh Radwan."
Israeli forces continued deadly strikes across Gaza despite an earlier social-media message from Donald Trump urging an immediate halt to the bombing.
