In Gaza, Israeli forces killed at least 10 people, including seven children, today in an attack near the southern city of Khan Younis. Separately, at least two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, where Israeli ground forces were seen blowing up and demolishing Palestinian homes and businesses as Israel expands its so-called buffer zone.

Israel’s siege of Gaza is now in its 40th day, after it shattered the ceasefire on March 2. Doctors Without Borders has called it a “slow death” for Palestinians, who face severe shortages of food, water and medicine.
