Live Blog Update| Israel's genocide in Gaza

Evening recap

Good evening Middle East Eye readers, 

We will be taking a short break from the blog.

In the meantime, here are the developments in Gaza:

  • At least 80 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes across the enclave on Thursday
  • Republican Congressman Randy Fine suggested on Fox News that Gaza should be “nuked" like Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II
  • The UN agency for Palestinian children said the trickle of aid that reached its warehouse in Gaza  is “vastly insufficient”
  • Detained American green card holder and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil was allowed to hold his one-month-old son for the first time on Thursday
  • The Gaza Government Media Office said at least six security officers guarding humanitarian aid from looting in the Gaza Strip were killed in Israeli strikes
