Israeli attacks continue across the Gaza Strip

Here is a reminder that alongside its strikes on Iran, Israel has been continuing its attacks on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

More than 30 have been killed since dawn today, including 11 who had been waiting for aid. In the south, the Israeli military has pushed deeper into Khan Younis, where fighting is ongoing between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian armed groups.

Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, reported that in the past couple of hours, there has been an intensive attack on a residential area in Jabalia in the north.

She said five people have also been killed in an attack on the  Maghazi refugee camp in the centre of the Gaza Strip.

Khoudary said medical sources have reported that continued attacks in the enclave’s south, where three of the four Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution sites are located,  mean that they are, in reality, not aid distribution points but a “death trap” for Palestinians.



Why is Egypt deporting March to Gaza participants?



Egyptian authorities have detained and deported scores of foreign nationals arriving in Cairo to participate in the Global March to Gaza, an international initiative aimed at peacefully mobilising thousands to walk to the Rafah border crossing with the besieged Gaza Strip.

At least 40 Algerians were detained at Cairo airport upon arrival and held for 24 hours, before being deported. More than 10 Moroccans were turned back at the airport and several Turkish citizens were also detained from outside their Cairo hotel for holding Palestinian flags. Other nationals, including French and other European nationalities, have also been prevented from entering or detained without explanation.

With more than 55,000 Palestinians killed, and with close to the entire population of the besieged strip being starved, activists say it's time to take matters into their own hands. So why is Egypt blocking a march that publicly supports its own stated position on Gaza?
