Israel kills 38 aid seekers in Gaza as Israelis demand truce deal

By Staff Reporter
Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza, after killing at least 116 Palestinians on Saturday. The victims include 38 people killed near food aid sites in Rafah.
Two more Palestinians, including a 35-day-old infant, have died of malnutrition at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, according to a doctor; a Muslim group in the United States accuses Israel of “forcibly” starving Palestinians in Gaza, “backed by billions in US taxpayer-supplied weapons and aid”.
Tens of thousands of people have marched in Tel Aviv, urging US President Donald Trump to reach a deal to end the war and bring back about 50 captives remaining in Gaza.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 58,765 people and wounded 140,485. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
