A deadly Israeli strike in central Gaza killed eight Palestinians, including six children, on Sunday, as truce negotiations between Israel and Hamas hit another roadblock. The IDF acknowledged the missile strike—intended for an Islamic Jihad militant—malfunctioned, landing near a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp. 💧🚱
Emergency physician Ahmed Abu Saifan reported 17 injuries alongside the fatalities, describing scenes of chaos as families scrambled to collect water amid worsening shortages. Fuel crises have crippled desalination plants, forcing residents to rely on vulnerable distribution centers.
While the IDF stated the incident is "under review" and expressed regret for civilian harm, Gaza’s Health Ministry says over 58,000 lives have been lost since the war began in October 2023. Sunday’s casualties added 139 to the toll. 🔥
As global calls for de-escalation grow louder, the stalled talks and tragic strike highlight the human cost of prolonged conflict—and the urgent need for solutions. 🌍✌️
