Israel kills 85 people in Gaza despite calls for truce from world leaders
"At least 12 Palestinians, among them seven women and two children, have been killed in a strike on a stadium sheltering displaced families in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, as Israel pressed ahead with its relentless attacks despite calls for a ceasefire from world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly. The al-Ahli Stadium, which has been converted into a makeshift refuge for Palestinians fleeing the Israeli onslaught, became the site of another massacre on Wednesday."
"I only had what I had in my hand. I left with nothing, Najwa, a displaced woman from Gaza City, told Al Jazeera. We are frightened. Transportation is expensive. We can't pay to bring our things. Israel's assault on Gaza intensified overnight, with at least 85 Palestinians killed across the territory on Wednesday more than double the number of those killed yesterday."
"A commission of inquiry this week concluded that Israel's actions are aimed at establishing permanent control over Gaza while ensuring a Jewish majority in the occupied West Bank and inside Israel. Zamir added that most of Gaza's population has already left Gaza City and that the army will continue a systematic and thorough advance into the enclave's largest urban centre."
Israeli forces struck multiple sites across Gaza, killing at least 85 Palestinians in one day and hitting the al-Ahli Stadium shelter in Nuseirat, where a strike killed 12 displaced people, including seven women and two children. Displaced residents said they fled with only what they could carry and face unaffordable transport costs. The UN warned of terror and mass displacement in Gaza City while Israeli military leaders claimed civilians were being pushed south for safety, a claim UN investigators rejected. A commission concluded actions aim to secure permanent control over Gaza and preserve a Jewish majority in the occupied territories. Tens of thousands have been killed and wounded since October 7, 2023.
