In northern Gaza, more than 50 Palestinians were killed or are presumed dead following an Israeli airstrike that leveled a four-story home in Jabaliya. Civil Defense workers described a horrific scene, with rescue operations severely hampered due to a lack of heavy machinery.

The attack came as Gaza officials said at least 29 children and seniors starved to death over the past two days amid a worsening hunger crisis brought on by Israel’s near-total blockade. On Thursday, there were chaotic scenes as crowds scrambled to receive the first freshly baked bread in weeks from a handful of bakeries in south and central Gaza. Israel’s army said it granted access Thursday to 107 humanitarian aid trucks carrying limited supplies of food, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals; aid groups say at least 500 aid trucks are needed every day for two months to alleviate Gaza’s hunger crisis. This is U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric.

Stéphane Dujarric: “The shipment from yesterday is limited in quantity and nowhere near sufficient to meet the scale and scope of Gaza’s 2.1 million.”
