Israeli airstrikes have killed dozens of people in Gaza overnight, as Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of genocide and MSF said signs of ethnic cleansing “were undeniable”.
While US and Arab mediators work around the clock to hammer out a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, medics say Israeli strikes have killed 44 Palestinians in 24 hours.
Later, airstrikes killed at least 15 Palestinians in two shelters housing displaced families in eastern Gaza City’s suburb of Tuffah, medics said. “The longer those talks last, the more destruction and death takes place in Gaza. Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahiya are being wiped out, Rafah too,” said Adel, 60, a resident of Jabalia, who is now displaced in Gaza City.
That had drastically reduced the water supply in Gaza, from about 83 litres per person each day before the war began to between two and nine litres in the months since it said.

There was no immediate Israeli comment on the MSF report, but Israel has previously denied carrying out ethnic cleansing and says its campaign aims to wipe out Hamas and prevent it from regrouping.
