Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dalvinder Singh Grewal" data-source="post: 226744" data-attributes="member: 22683">Sources in Gaza hospitals say 56 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli bombings today, at least 9 of them near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid hub in the north of Rafah, including three children.At least 743 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks at the notorious GHF distribution centers, as Israeli forces continue to target people waiting for food and hospitals struggle to cope with the wounded.Hamas says it is ready to start talks “immediately” on a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire, which will allow the desperately needed aid for Gaza.Hamas ally Islamic Jehad says it supports plans for talks on a truce with Israel, but demanded “guarantees” that the process would lead to a permanent ceasefire.The announcement came after it held consultations with other Palestinian factions and before a visit on Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, where President Donald Trump is pushing for an end to the war, now in its 21st month.Israel's war in Gaza has killed at least 57,338 people and wounded 135,957, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.The World Food Programme’s deputy executive director and chief operating officer, Carl Skau, visited Gaza City on Tuesday and Wednesday. In a statement later, he said the following about his visit: This is my fourth visit to Gaza since the start of the conflict. The situation is the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to find words to describe the level of desperation I have witnessed. People are dying just trying to get food. Our WFP teams in Gaza are doing heroic work under conditions that are simply impossible. They are frequently caught in crossfire, they are stuck in steaming hot cars for 24 hours straight, escorting food convoys through combat zones. We don’t have enough fuel for our vehicles, or spare parts for our trucks or cars, or basic equipment to communicate. A ceasefire is urgently needed … During the previous <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/4/hamas-responds-to-us-backed-gaza-ceasefire-proposal-in-a-positive-spirit" target="_blank">ceasefire</a>, we showed what was possible: delivering more than 8,000 trucks of food in only 42 days. We can do it again, but we need all routes and entry points to open, and we need safety in order to be able to reach the most vulnerable.<img src="https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AA-20250626-38397462-38397461-FOOD_DISTRIBUTED_TO_PALESTINIANS_IN_GAZA_UNDER_ISRAELI_ATTACKS-1750960736.jpg?w=770&resize=770%2C513&quality=80" alt="Gaza" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Charity organisations distribute food to Palestinians at Nusierat Refugee Camp in Gaza City.</blockquote>
