90 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza’s humanitarian zones
Deir Al-Balah: Over 90 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza in the past 48 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as Israel continues its military campaign on the besieged territory.
Hospital sources reported that at least 15 people, including women and children, were killed overnight in a designated humanitarian zone. In Khan Younis, 11 people, including some sheltering in tents in the overcrowded Mwasi area, lost their lives. Israel has officially recognised Mwasi as a humanitarian zone.
Four others, including a mother and her daughter, were killed in separate attacks in Rafah. Their bodies were taken to the European Hospital, according to medical staff.
Humanitarian organisations have raised alarm over worsening conditions in Gaza, with thousands of children suffering from malnutrition and many residents surviving on just one meal a day, according to the United Nations.
On Friday, Dr Hanan Balkhy, head of the World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean office, urged newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, to push Israeli authorities to ease the blockade and allow the entry of essential supplies. She expressed hope that visiting Gaza might change his stance.
Meanwhile, during his first public appearance, Huckabee visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem and placed a note said to contain a prayer written by U.S. President Donald Trump. He also said efforts were underway to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
The latest escalation comes as the Israeli military resumed operations after breaking a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The ongoing war has killed nearly 51,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children, including at least 876 infants under the age of one. Health workers, aid personnel, and journalists are also among the dead.
Massive destruction across Gaza has wiped out critical infrastructure, including food production units, while around 90% of the population has been displaced, many forced to live in tents or damaged buildings.

Constitution of India supreme, its pillars must work together: CJI Gavai
Mumbai (PTI): Chief Justice of India B R Gavai on Sunday stressed that neither the judiciary nor the executive, but the Constitution of India was supreme and its pillars must work together.
Justice Gavai, who took oath as the 52nd CJI earlier this week, spoke at his felicitation ceremony and state lawyers' conference organised by the Bar Council Maharashtra and Goa here.
The Chief Justice said he was glad that the country has not just strengthened but has also developed on the social and economic fronts and continues to do so.
"Neither the judiciary nor the executive and the Parliament is supreme, but it is the Constitution of India which is supreme, and all the three wings have to work as per the Constitution," he said.
He underlined that the country's basic structure was strong, and all three pillars of the Constitution were equal.
"And all the organs of the Constitution must reciprocate and give due respect to each other," he said.
A book chronicling 50 remarkable judgments pronounced by Justice Gavai was released during the event.
