Israel’s military continues to assault the Gaza Strip. Palestinian officials say Israeli attacks killed 50 people across Gaza on Monday and at least 37 since dawn today. Among the latest dead are 20 civilians killed while seeking food at aid distribution sites. On Monday, more Palestinians moved southward along Gaza’s coastal road, fleeing Israeli ground forces who are flattening whole neighborhoods of Gaza City as they advance. This is Samar Abdel Jawad, a displaced Palestinian mother.

Samar Abdel Jawad: “We used to sleep on concrete. We used to sleep on mattresses. We used to sleep on beds. My children used to live a normal life. Now my house has been destroyed. It is gone. I ended up in the street. My husband used to work. My children used to eat the best food and drink. Now we’re left with a sheet and sand to sleep on. We can’t even take a shower. Just two wood poles and a sheet.”

Meanwhile, the number of Palestinians who’ve starved to death has risen to 453. Eid Mahmoud Abu Jamma died of malnutrition and chest infections in Khan Younis after Israel blocked access to food, infant formula and other basic supplies. At her death, the 2-and-a-half-month-old infant weighed less than she had when she was born; her thumb was wider than her ankle.
