Health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza said Israeli forces had killed at least 112 people trying to reach a relief convoy near Gaza City early on Thursday, with famine looming nearly five months into the war. Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a house in Rafah, southern Gaza With a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, many countries have called for a ceasefire, but US President Joe Biden said Thursday’s incident will complicate talks over a deal involving a truce and hostage release. Israel’s closest ally, the United States, has also urged a thorough investigation, saying the incident shows the need for “expanded humanitarian aid to make its way into Gaza”.
