Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 82 people since dawn, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, amid ongoing ceasefire talks<\/a> and criticism of plans to forcibly transfer Palestinians to Rafah.<\/p>\n

Among those killed on Thursday, 15 people, including nine children and four women, were killed in an Israeli air attack while waiting in line for nutritional supplies for children in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza.<\/p>\n

At least 30 others were wounded, including 19 children, during the Israeli attack.<\/p>\n

Catherine Russell, the director of the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), condemned the attack on aid seekers and said the killing of families trying to access aid was \u201cunconscionable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the cruel reality confronting many in Gaza today after months of insufficient aid being allowed into the territory and parties to the conflict failing to uphold basic responsibilities to protect civilians,\u201d the UNICEF official said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lack of aid means children are facing starvation while the risk of famine grows. The number of malnourished children will continue to rise until life-saving aid and services are resumed at full scale,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Russel called on Israel to ensure \u201cfull compliance with international humanitarian law\u201d and to conduct an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

Separately, Hamas condemned the attack and said it was part of Israel\u2019s \u201congoing campaign of genocide in the Strip\u201d.<\/p>\n

Israel is \u201cescalating its brutal massacres against innocent civilians in schools, streets, displacement camps, and civilian centres, in a systematic behaviour that amounts to a full-fledged ethnic cleansing crime, perpetrated in full view of the world\u201d, the Palestinian group said.<\/p>\n

Since Israel began its war on Gaza after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that killed 1,139 people in Israel, at least 57,762 Palestinians have been killed, and 137,656 others have been wounded, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

Forced displacement<\/h2>\n

Since Sunday, Israel and Hamas, through mediators including the United States, Qatar and Egypt, have been involved in intense negotiations to come to a ceasefire deal that will pause Israeli attacks on the enclave and return the captives.<\/p>\n

While Hamas said that it had agreed to release 10 captives in what is expected to be a 60-day ceasefire, the group said on Thursday that issues remained on the flow of aid into Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli troops.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was preparing to leave the US on the last day of a series of meetings in Washington, DC, said Israel continues to pursue a deal for a 60-day pause in the fighting and the release of half the 50 captives remaining in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Once that deal is in place, Israel is prepared to negotiate a permanent end to the war, Netanyahu said \u2013 but only on the condition that Hamas disarms and gives up its governing and military capabilities in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this can be achieved through negotiations, so much the better,\u201d he said in a video statement. \u201cIf it is not achieved through negotiations in 60 days, we will achieve it in other ways; by using force.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes as Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced earlier this week a plan<\/a> to forcibly transfer Palestinians to a tent city in Rafah, southern Gaza, potentially affecting any ceasefire deal.<\/p>\n

Tamara Alrifai, a senior communications director at the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), told Al Jazeera that the plan would \u201cde facto create massive concentration camps at the border with Egypt for the Palestinians\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot be silent and complicit of such large-scale forced displacement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

EU deal for Gaza aid<\/h2>\n

Beyond the front lines, European officials struck a new deal with Israel to allow desperately needed food and fuel into Gaza, the European Union\u2019s foreign policy chief said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The agreement could result in \u201cmore crossings open, aid and food trucks entering Gaza, repair of vital infrastructure and protection of aid workers\u201d, said Kaja Kallas, the 27-member EU\u2019s top diplomat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe count on Israel to implement every measure agreed,\u201d she said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n

Aid groups say Israeli military restrictions and recurring violence have made it difficult to deliver assistance in Gaza even after Israel eased a total blockade in May. Experts have warned that the territory is at risk of famine, 21 months into Israel\u2019s war.<\/p>\n

Kallas said the deal would reactivate aid corridors from Jordan and Egypt and reopen community bakeries and kitchens across Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar acknowledged the deal while attending a conference in Vienna, saying it came \u201cfollowing our dialogue with the EU\u201d. He said the deal includes \u201cmore trucks, more crossings and more routes for the humanitarian efforts\u201d.<\/p>\n

Neither Saar nor Kallas said whether the aid would go through the UN-run system or the controversial alternative, US- and Israeli-backed GHF mechanism that has been marred by violence and controversy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
