Defining the News

PALESTINIAN Territories – US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to speak on Thursday in their first phone call since an Israeli strike on a humanitarian convoy killed seven aid workers in Gaza.

The toll includes at least 62 deaths over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said, adding that 75,668 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began when Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7. At least 196 aid workers have been killed in Gaza in the almost six-month-old war, nearly three times the toll inflicted by any other single conflict in a year, according to a UN coordinator.

WCK, which called the strike “targeted”, suspended its operations in the region and sent ships laden with hundreds of tonnes of undelivered supplies back to their Mediterranean port. In Gaza City, Palestinians sleeping overnight near an aid delivery spot hoped to secure a bag of flour. To try to maintain the humanitarian lifeline, foreign powers have increased aid airdrops into Gaza, while the World Central Kitchen was involved in establishing a maritime route.
