At least 41 Palestinians, including children, were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, according to hospital officials.

The Israeli military said it targeted more than 120 sites across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, including what it described as Hamas tunnels and weapons depots.

Twenty-two bodies were taken to a hospital in Gaza City, where grieving relatives gathered in the morgue before holding funeral prayers outside. Among the dead were 11 children and three women, health authorities said. At least 19 others were killed in Khan Younis.

With ceasefire talks stalled in Qatar and food supplies critically low, malnutrition rates among children have nearly doubled, deepening the crisis facing Gaza’s 2 million residents.
