• Israeli airstrikes have killed over 23 Palestinians, including children, amid growing international outcry.
• Israel's blockade has severely restricted food and medical supplies in Gaza for over two months.
• The UN and aid organizations have condemned Israel's plans for aid distribution oversight.
• The ongoing conflict has resulted in more than 52,800 fatalities, primarily among women and children.

Israeli airstrikes over the weekend killed at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza, including three children and their parents who were struck in their tent, as per health officials. The strikes are part of an ongoing offensive that has drawn international condemnation and raised humanitarian concerns about Israel's blockade on Gaza, now in its third month. This blockade is affecting over two million residents, triggering a fierce response from the UN and humanitarian groups against what they perceive as attempts to control aid distribution, particularly a controversial plan from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation that is being rebuffed broadly, according to Indiatimes and Latimes.

On Sunday, additional Israeli strikes in Gaza resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals, with reports indicating that most casualties were women and children. Various hospitals including Nasser Hospital reported that among the deceased were families living in tents, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation. The Israeli military maintains that it targets militants while blaming Hamas for the high civilian death rates due to their presence in populated regions. The continuing airstrikes have devastated many areas, complicating the already precarious food and medical supply situation in the region, pointing to a dire humanitarian crisis, according to Indiatimes, SCMP, and Latimes.

The humanitarian blockade has forced many charity kitchens to close, resulting in widespread hunger. With many residents reliant on increasingly scarce aid, the situation seems set to worsen, with the UN noting that food and essential supplies are critically low. Furthermore, children in Gaza have been seen scrambling for water as they face dire shortages, a tragic reality adding to the mounting humanitarian distress, as detailed by Latimes and SCMP.

In a separate development, Israel announced the recovery of the remains of Sgt. 1st Class Tzvi Feldman, who had been missing since a battle in Lebanon in 1982. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the death of Syrian President Bashar Assad led to new intelligence that helped locate and retrieve the remains, showing the enduring legacy of military service in Israeli society, according to Indiatimes and SCMP.
