DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Local health officials in Gaza say that at least 78 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes or gunfire across the territory. The number includes a pregnant woman and her baby, who was delivered after her death but also died. The strikes occurred on Monday, even as Israel moved to ease restrictions on aid entry. Israel announced a pause in operations for 10 hours a day to allow aid delivery, but aid agencies say this is insufficient. The United Nations reports that aid trucks are being unloaded by crowds before reaching their destinations. Israel continues military operations alongside these humanitarian measures.
