Funerals, food cuts, and claims

A mass funeral was held on Sunday for 75 Palestinians whose remains were found under the rubble of homes and buildings destroyed by Israel, as Democracy Now! said the U.N. announced major cuts to the World Food Programme’s Gaza operations due to a funding shortfall. The World Food Programme is reducing monthly assistance to 1.1 million people, down from 1.6 million, even as two-thirds of Gaza’s population faces crisis levels of food insecurity.

The IDF framed the strikes as actions taken in systematic violation of the ceasefire, and it said the three Hamas figures had recently worked to coordinate attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. Haaretz reported that the IDF had killed at least eight people in Gaza since Saturday, including two children, according to medics and local reports.
