The essentials of the day before
The Hamas health ministry has revised upwards the number of people killed after Israeli fire towards Palestinians rushing towards humanitarian aid trucks on al-Rashid Street, in the north of the territory threatened by famine.
The new report shows 110 victims.
Israeli sources cited by AFP confirmed shootings on the crowd, but they rejected any responsibility for the heaviness of this toll, citing deaths linked to people trampled by the crowd.
According to an Israeli official cited by Reuters, initial indications are that the deaths were caused by delivery drivers who drove into the crowd.
The United States demanded that Israel provide “answers” after this tragedy, with Washington citing a “desperate” situation in Gaza.
An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council behind closed doors was held in the evening to discuss the circumstances of this deadly incident.
The Hamas Health Ministry announced that the death toll in the Gaza Strip was "more than 30,000" since the conflict with Israel began on October 7.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has estimated that a ground assault on the city of Rafah, promised by the Israeli Prime Minister, would "contravene" the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In Israel, the families of hostages began a four-day march between the kibbutz of Reïm near which the attack on the Nova festival took place and Jerusalem in order to make their voices heard and obtain the release of all the hostages held by the Hamas.
