At least 59 Palestinians were killed in a single day as Israeli airstrikes intensified across Gaza. Among the dead were a pregnant woman and her unborn child, along with another young child. Bombing continued in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods, where more than a thousand buildings have been flattened since last month.
An Al Jazeera journalist reported, “People don’t know where to go. They search for safety, but the Israeli military is striking every corner of the city.” Meanwhile, the blockade has worsened the humanitarian crisis—three more children died from starvation on Monday. Since October, nearly 350 people, a third of them children, have succumbed to hunger and malnutrition.
