LIVE: Israel kills 8 people in Gaza in 24 hours as talks under way in Egypt

Israel has carried out attacks killing eight Palestinians and injuring 61 others in Gaza within the past 24 hours, with total Palestinian casualties since October 7, 2023, reaching over 67,000 dead and nearly 170,000 injured.

Israeli forces also recovered two bodies from previous strikes, amidst ongoing intense military operations in Gaza. A new documentary, "Inside Gaza," features AFP journalists who were trapped during the initial Israeli attacks, highlighting their documentation of the suffering amid restricted access and discrediting efforts by Israel, with the journalists now residing in Qatar, Egypt, and the UK experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Gaza Strip faces critical humanitarian conditions with only 14 of its 36 hospitals partially operational, primarily due to shortages of electricity, water, medicine, and damaged infrastructure, forcing hospitals to endure repeated attacks and repairs.

The WHO reports that seven in ten pregnant and breastfeeding women in Gaza suffer from malnutrition, and a significant proportion of newborns are underweight or premature, pointing to worsening health crises. Humanitarian aid is severely impeded by Israeli restrictions, including the denial of access to northern Gaza to retrieve a neonatal incubator and repeated interception of aid vessels attempting to break the Gaza blockade, enhancing the humanitarian crisis. Tensions escalate as Israeli far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir provocatively entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, claiming ownership and provoking further unrest, which Palestinians and international observers condemn as a deliberate provocation. Several aid seekers near a food distribution center in southern Gaza were shot at by Israeli forces, causing injuries and deaths, further complicating efforts to deliver humanitarian supplies amid ongoing conflict. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is engaged in discussions with Hamas and advocates for Palestinian governance, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution and a ceasefire, especially following a request from US President Donald Trump. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad condemns Israel's interception of aid flotillas and wider violations of international law during the blockade of Gaza, criticizing the silence of European governments which they say encourages Israeli military actions. Additional conflicts include clashes near the Afghan border involving Pakistan's military, and international criticism of various figures' remarks on Gaza, highlighting the global and regional geopolitical tensions surrounding the conflict.
