- Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 67,139 people and wounded 169,583
Explosions as Israeli forces continue attacks on Gaza
We’re not seeing any change on the ground so far. Explosions can still be heard from time to time, and the situation remains extremely harsh for people in the northern parts of Gaza.
Residents say they’re still hearing explosions in the eastern areas, most of which remain completely inaccessible and extremely dangerous.
Israeli forces are reportedly using quadcopters to fire on Palestinians, including some who tried to return to the north from the south and central areas.
Many here are waiting anxiously for the ceasefire deal to take effect so they can go home. But people tell us that some who tried to make that journey yesterday were shot and killed by Israeli forces.
Hospitals are still overwhelmed with the number of wounded, and many Palestinians are dying from their injuries.
Despite all of this, there’s still a sense of cautious hope. People are holding onto the belief that the ceasefire deal will go through.
Gaza death toll rises
Sources in Gaza hospitals say at least 16 people, including two aid seekers, have been killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn.
Ten of them were killed in Gaza City.
