Israel Kills 64 Palestinians in Gaza Amid Genocide Allegations

Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed dozens of Palestinians, with recent attacks targeting Gaza City and surrounding areas amid an intensified offensive. Reports indicate at least 64 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday alone, including many civilians waiting for aid at distribution points, with additional casualties reported from airstrikes on residential buildings and displaced persons' shelters. Since the war's escalation in October 2023, over 63,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 160,000 injured, according to Gaza health authorities, with women and children constituting about half of the fatalities. Israel has declared Gaza City a combat zone and is reportedly preparing for a full occupation, using airstrikes, artillery, and explosive-laden robots to demolish buildings in densely populated areas. The International Association of Genocide Scholars and other rights groups have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, allegations Israel strongly denies, instead blaming Hamas for operating within civilian areas. Meanwhile, Gaza faces a worsening humanitarian crisis including famine, driven by ongoing conflict, blockade, and displacement, further endangering residents' survival amid escalating violence.
