Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed another 31 people, including 13 Palestinians who died when Israel bombed a school east of Gaza City. A separate attack on a tent encampment for displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah killed three people, including a child. Amid the unrelenting attacks, Hamas said it would no longer engage in ceasefire talks due to the catastrophic famine set off by Israel’s total siege of Gaza, now in its ninth week. A spokesperson for the United Nations’ aid coordination office said Israel has unlawfully weaponized food, water, fuel and medicine.

Jens Lærke: “Aid should be provided based on humanitarian need to whomever needs it, targeting those who need it most first, and not be used as — in any way, as a tactic to move people to any particular place or to convince people to do this, that or the other. It is to cover their basic lifesaving needs pronto.”
