Summary
Here is where things stand:
An Israeli strike on Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday has killed at least 70 people, Palestinian health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said. “What is happening at the Maghazi camp is a massacre that is being committed on a crowded residential square,” al-Qudra said, adding that the death toll is likely to climb.
“People in Gaza haven’t experienced hunger until this war,” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said, warning of a “man-made famine” in Gaza as Israel continues its attacks across the strip. In a tweet on Sunday, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees added: “Now it is widespread & WFP warns about a looming famine. That would be nothing less than a man-made famine & a stain in our common humanity. We cannot let it happen.”
Israel’s war on Gaza is enacting a “very heavy price” on Israeli soldiers, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a statement on Sunday, Agence France-Presse reports. “This is a difficult morning, after a very difficult day of fighting in Gaza,” Netanyahu said after the Israeli army announced that 14 soldiers had been killed in Gaza since Friday. Another soldier was killed on Sunday, the army said, bringing the total number of troops killed in Gaza to 154 since Israel’s ground assault that began on October 27. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have killed over 20,200 Palestinians in Gaza, leaving more than 53,600 injured.
