Tens of thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Gaza City as Israel intensifies its attacks on the Gaza Strip’s largest population center ahead of a full-scale military invasion. Al Jazeera reports Israeli attacks today have killed at least 26 people — among them, eight Palestinians killed in a strike on tents housing displaced families in Khan Younis, and another four killed in an attack on tents in Deir al-Balah. Two people were reportedly shot and killed seeking aid at a distribution site run by the notorious Israel- and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Meanwhile, an airdrop of humanitarian aid over Deir al-Balah on Monday set off a scramble among desperately hungry people hoping for a meal. Displaced Palestinian Amin Abu Mughsib came away empty-handed.

Amin Abu Mughsib: “This is aerial humiliation, not airdropping. The package is filled with about 12 boxes. More than a thousand people gather on the package. People crush each other, and it’s not enough for a single family. People are fighting. There are like 10 fights on each package, and people are dying. Here, you hear gunfire. There, you find someone dead under the package. We can’t take it anymore.”
