Israel kills 81 in Gaza as ‘different messages’ emerge on truce talks

By Staff Reporter
Medical sources tell Al Jazeera that at least 81 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since early Monday, including 53 in Gaza City.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Washington says that “very different messages” are emerging from Hamas and United States officials amid reports that the Palestinian group has agreed to a US ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
A World Health Organization spokesperson says that “everyone is suffering” in Gaza as hospitals run out of medical supplies to treat the sick and “horrific” injuries as Israel blocks aid, intensifies attacks.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 53,977 Palestinians and wounded 122,966, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying that thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 taken captive.
