An attack in Deir al-Balah has left several children dead and wounded as ceasefire talks continue between Israel and Hamas.

The attack was carried out in the town of Deir al-Balah, near a medical point where people were waiting for food, killing several children and injuring others. The Israeli army is investigating the incident, as 26 other people were killed in Gaza in the same days. Negotiations for a new ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas continue, mediated by the US, Qatar and Egypt, despite the difficulties and intransigence of the parties. The war began on October 7, 2023, following a Hamas attack that resulted in thousands of deaths and massive destruction in Gaza.
