Israeli Forces Kill at Least 3 Palestinians Despite U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, Israeli forces have killed at least three Palestinians as
Israel continues to violate the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Since the start
of the truce on October 10, at least 266 Palestinians have been killed
and 635 wounded by Israeli attacks. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel
is reporting that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody
since October 2023, and that the real death toll is likely to be much
higher because hundreds of people detained in Gaza are still missing.
Meanwhile, UNICEF estimates more than 600,000 Palestinian children have
missed out on school during the war, and only 100,000 have managed to
return to classrooms. Humanitarian NGOs say Israel is still restricting
the entry of food aid and other critical supplies into the Gaza Strip.
Here's Zahia Al-Shambari, who waited in line to buy bread in Khan
Younis.

Zahia Al-Shambari: "After two hours of struggle at the supermarket to
get a bag of bread, thank God, I finally got one bag of bread for about
eight people. I'm really happy that I'm returning with a bag of bread.
And I hope the suffering doesn't happen again, not today, not tomorrow,
not any other day."
