Gaza Crisis: Children Killed in Israeli Strike Amid Stalled Ceasefire Talks
A recent Israeli strike in Gaza has reportedly killed multiple children who were queuing for nutritional supplements, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. Graphic footage from the hospital depicted the tragic scene, with medics attending to the wounded and the bodies of several children on the floor. Relatives at the mortuary mourned as they prepared the victims for burial, with one woman confirming her pregnant niece and daughter were among the dead, and her nephew was in intensive care.
The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, stating it targeted a ‘Hamas terrorist’ in the area and regretting any harm to uninvolved individuals, adding the incident is under review. This strike occurred as Israeli and Hamas delegations continued indirect negotiations for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal in Doha. Despite optimism from mediators like the US, significant gaps between the parties reportedly remain, with a senior Israeli official indicating an agreement could take weeks. Hamas, citing Israeli ‘intransigence,’ stated talks have been difficult, reiterating its demand for a comprehensive agreement to end the Israeli offensive.
The current conflict began following the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. Since then, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, and the region faces widespread displacement, damaged infrastructure, and severe shortages of essential supplies.
