Nearly three dozen lorries entered Gaza in the largest aid convoy since the war between Israel and Hamas began. However, the assistance still fell short of what was needed as thousands of people broke into warehouses to take essential supplies. The death toll among Palestinians has surpassed 8,000, mostly women and minors, as Israeli tanks and infantry continue their offensive.

The toll is without precedent in decades of Israeli-Palestinian violence. more than 1,400 people have died on the Israeli side, mainly civilians killed during the initial attack. It said ground forces killed a number of Hamas militants as they exited one of their extensive network of Gaza tunnels near the Erez crossing, which was the sole pedestrian passageway into Israel before it was destroyed in the fighting.
The Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service said Israeli airstrikes damaged parts of another Gaza City hospital after it received two calls from Israeli authorities on Sunday ordering it to evacuate. Israel says most Gaza residents have heeded its orders to flee to the southern part of the besieged territory, but hundreds of thousands remain in the north, in part because Israel has also bombarded targets in so-called safe zones.An Israeli airstrike hit a two-storey house in Khan Younis on Sunday, killing at least 13 people, including 10 from one family.
