- Οι ισραηλινές δυνάμεις σκότωσαν τουλάχιστον 71 ανθρώπους στη Γάζα το Σάββατο, συμπεριλαμβανομένων 42 αιτούντων ανθρωπιστικής βοήθειας, ενώ πέντε ακόμη Παλαιστίνιοι πέθαναν από την πείνα, ανεβάζοντας τον συνολικό αριθμό των νεκρών από την πείνα σε 127.
- Ο ισραηλινός στρατός κατέλαβε το πλοίο Handala του Στόλου της Ελευθερίας, κρατώντας τα 21 μέλη του πληρώματός του, καθώς προσπαθούσαν να σπάσουν την ισραηλινή πολιορκία στη Λωρίδα της Γάζας.

Handala crew ‘abducted’ from international waters, FFC says
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), the organisers of the attempt to deliver aid to Gaza via the Handala, says the vessel was “violently intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters about forty nautical miles [74km] from Gaza”.
In a statement, the group said it had lost all communications with the Handala after Israeli forces cut the cameras on board the ship at 11:43pm local time (20:43 GMT).
“The unarmed boat was carrying life-saving supplies when it was boarded by Israeli forces, its passengers abducted, and its cargo seized. The interception occurred in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law,” it said.
There were 21 activists from 12 countries on board the Handala.
The ship was carrying humanitarian supplies for starving Palestinians in Gaza, including baby formula, diapers, food and medicine.

Israel air drops aid into Gaza, injuring at least 11 people
We were able to look at some of the still photos from the site where the airdrop took place.
It’s near the space inside the northern part of the Gaza Strip, near Beit Lahiya, along the coastal road.
Eleven people were reported with injuries, as one of these pallets fell directly on tents in that displacement site near al-Rasheed road from the northern part of the Strip.
But people were able to get some of the boxes and the food parcels on that pallet.
So it did happen. And the Israeli military said it dropped seven pallets.
But according to what we hear from local sources, about five of the pallets were dropped, and people were able to get to at least three of them.
The other two are in an area that is a bit far from the displacement sites in northern Gaza, and an area that is very close to where the Israeli military is stationed.
It confirms what we’ve reported in the past – that Gaza has turned into a testing lab and the Israeli military is experimenting with every attack, every policy. Similar to the failure of the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, we’ve seen air drops happening in the past.
They were not effective, they did not reach enough people, let alone the chaos and violence they’ve caused.

WATCH: Infant dies of malnutrition as Gaza famine worsens
A five-month-old girl called Zainab is one of the latest Palestinians to die from malnutrition amid Israel’s siege on the Gaza Strip.
Her mother, Israa Abu Haleeb, says her daughter “suffered a lot while sick”.
“Malnutrition, lack of formula milk and the closure of the border crossings, all of it against our people,” she said.

A recap of recent developments
- Israeli forces killed at least 71 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including 42 starving people who were seeking food aid.
- Health authorities in Gaza say five more Palestinians have died of starvation in the past day, bringing the total death toll from hunger since Israel’s war began to 127, including 85 children.
- The Israeli government says it will allow “humanitarian pauses” in parts of Gaza today to facilitate aid deliveries, but experts say the plan will not address the starvation crisis gripping the territory.
- Israel’s military has also air-dropped a small quantity of food aid into northern Gaza, as officials from the UN and humanitarian groups slam the scheme as inefficient, costly and dangerous.
- Israeli forces have stormed the Gaza-bound Handala ship, which was carrying aid to starving Palestinians. The fate of the 19 international activists and two Al Jazeera journalists is not known.
