At Least 57 Palestinians Killed in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Collapse

In the past 24 hours, at least 57 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes and escalating violence, with many casualties occurring while civilians were seeking humanitarian aid. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported 512 wounded and noted difficulties in reaching victims trapped under rubble due to continuous bombardment. The death toll since October 7, 2023, has now surpassed 59,700, with over 144,000 injured. Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have stalled, with the US and Israel withdrawing their negotiating teams, and both sides blaming each other for the collapse. President Donald Trump accused Hamas of not wanting a deal, while Hamas dismissed the US and Israeli withdrawal as a negotiating tactic, with mediators Egypt and Qatar hopeful for resumed talks. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, with starvation causing at least 124 deaths, including many children, compounding the crisis caused by the blockade and ongoing conflict.
