Ceasefire talks were continuing in Cairo with little sign of a concrete breakthrough over key issues separating the sides
Palestinians displaced by fighting in the Gaza Strip crowded onto the seashore as Israeli forces continued to battle Hamas fighters in central and southern areas, with health officials reporting at least 17 people killed in strikes on Tuesday.
Residents and displaced families in the southern city of Khan Younis and Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, where most of the population is now concentrated, said they have been pushed to live in tents now packed on the beach. Palestinian health officials said Israeli strikes killed nine Palestinians in Bureij and Maghazi, two of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, while another strike killed five people in Khan Younis and a third killed three others in Rafah.
On Monday, United Nations aid operations in Gaza ground to a halt after Israel issued new evacuation orders on Sunday for Deir Al-Balah, where the UN operations centre was located, a senior UN official said.
