The U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, set up to distribute aid to Gaza as an alternative to the United Nations but which Palestinians said endangered the lives of civilians as they tried to get food, has said it will shutter operations.

Het aantal doden in Gaza door Isralische aanvallen ligt waarschijnlijk veel hoger dan gedacht. Uit berekeningen van onderzoekers van het Duitse Max Planck Instituut voor Demografisch Onderzoek blijkt dat het aantal gedode Palestijnen zeer waarschijnlijk op minimaal 100.000 zou liggen, zo meldt Die Zeit.
