Israeli strikes kill 34 in Gaza despite aid pause

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 34 Palestinians across Gaza on Monday, just a day after Israel announced daily pauses in military operations to allow aid deliveries. The strikes occurred outside the declared 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. pause window, according to Firstpost.

Despite easing some restrictions and allowing limited aid, humanitarian groups say it’s not enough to address the growing hunger crisis. Images of starving children have drawn global concern, with US President Donald Trump calling them “terrible.”

Among the dead were a pregnant woman in Muwasi and 11 people, mostly women and children, in Khan Younis. Seven others were killed near a US- and Israeli-backed aid site.

Since October, over 59,800 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Firstpost reported.
