A verified video footage shows a Palestinian boy pleading to Egyptian soldiers for food after climbing an electricity pole to rise above the fence at Gaza’s southern border. “We want to eat, we want to live,” he says.
Gaza’s government media office says 36 people were killed in overnight Israeli army attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp; most were children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved a plan for a ground invasion of Rafah city with the army “preparing operationally and for the evacuation” of about 1.5 million Palestinians trapped there.
Netanyahu has described the latest Hamas ceasefire proposal as “ridiculous” – though a delegation led by Mossad’s spy chief is heading to Qatar for truce talks.
At least 31,553 Palestinians have been killed and 73,546 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139 with dozens taken captive.
