**Headline: Escalating Violence in Gaza City Claims Over 100 Lives, Including Aid Seekers**

Gaza City – At least 105 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 32 seeking humanitarian aid, as Israeli forces intensify their offensive and prepare to seize control of the enclave’s largest urban center. The ongoing military operation has targeted densely populated areas like al-Sabra neighborhood, resulting in widespread destruction and casualties.

Palestinians face a dire situation marked by relentless air strikes and a crippling aid blockade. Reports indicate at least 13 people have died from starvation in the last 24 hours, bringing the total hunger-related death toll since the war began to 361.

Tragedy struck near Khan Younis when an Israeli drone strike killed at least 21 people, including seven children, queuing for water in the al-Mawasi area, previously declared a “safe zone” by Israel. In Gaza City, an attack on the al-Af family home resulted in the deaths of 10 people, mostly women and children.

The Gaza Government Media Office has accused Israel of “war crimes” and Washington of complicity, urging the UN Security Council to intervene.

The conflict has also taken a heavy toll on journalists. Two more journalists, Rasmi Salem of al-Manara and Eman al-Zamli, were killed in the attacks, bringing the total number of journalists killed since October 7, 2023, to more than 270.

While Qatar reported that Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal, Israel has yet to respond. Meanwhile, the Israeli military is intensifying ground operations and calling up reservists. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel is in a “decisive stage” of the war and is working to “defeat Hamas.”

Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed responsibility for drone attacks targeting Israel’s General Staff headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, a power station, and the port of Ashdod.

Amidst the ongoing crisis, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry welcomed Belgium’s decision to recognize the State of Palestine and urged other nations to follow suit. The ministry also criticized the international community’s indifference to Gaza’s economic collapse and called for urgent financial support.
