At least 29 Palestinians, including six children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Sunday as ceasefire negotiations hit a wall. The attacks targeted residential areas and water distribution points, deepening what the UN calls one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. 💔

Gaza City saw multiple strikes overnight, with eight fatalities reported near displaced persons' shelters. A family home near Nuseirat refugee camp was leveled, killing 10. 'Children were filling water bottles when a drone struck,' said civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal, describing a deadly attack in central Gaza.
