Monday proved deadly in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes and gunfire left at least 67 Palestinians dead. Among the incidents, an airstrike on Al-Baqa Cafe in Gaza City resulted in 30 casualties, with many critically wounded, according to local health authorities.

In southern Gaza, Israeli forces reportedly killed 11 individuals seeking food aid. These incidents form part of a larger pattern, with more than 500 Palestinians killed in the chaotic aid distribution in the past month alone, as civilians face perilous journeys to access aid.

The violence escalates, with Israeli military strikes intensifying in Gaza City and the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp, leaving much of the infrastructure devastated and impeding humanitarian efforts. The conflict continues amid accusations over aid diversion and the targeting of militants operating among civilians.
