At least 140 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours due to Israeli airstrikes, local health officials reported. Among the victims, at least 40 died today alone. Palestinians face daily attacks while trying to access humanitarian aid after Israel partially lifted the blockade on aid to the enclave. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are investigating reports of deaths among those waiting for aid, while justifying other airstrikes as efforts to disarm Hamas military capabilities, claiming they take all possible measures to minimize civilian harm.
