Israel’s military has killed at least two Palestinians in separate attacks in central Gaza, claiming it fired on men who approached the so-called yellow line that leaves more than half of the Gaza Strip under Israeli occupation. The attacks bring the number of Palestinians killed by Israel to at least 241 since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10. Separately, Civil Defense workers in Gaza say many Palestinians remain trapped under the rubble of a building that collapsed in Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood. The collapse followed warnings by the United Nations that tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have been forced to find shelter in severely damaged and unsafe buildings. The Norwegian Refugee Council reports Israel is allowing just 100 aid trucks a day to enter Gaza — far short of the 600 trucks per day Israel had pledged under the ceasefire deal. This is Abdel Majid al-Zaity, a Palestinian father of nine whose family joined crowds at a soup kitchen in Khan Younis on Wednesday.

Abdel Majid al-Zaity: “Our life is difficult. Dead people are still better than us. We eat the same food every day. Why? Because we have no other option but the soup kitchen itself. The soup kitchens all over the Gaza Strip are widespread, but this soup kitchen here, because it is in the middle of al-Mawasi, there is a big number of people. We all come here to the soup kitchen to eat and be able to live and continue living.”
