Israeli forces killed at least 55 Palestinians in Gaza overnight, including a journalist and aid seekers. Hospital officials reported at least 34 deaths on Monday alone, with many killed while waiting for humanitarian aid near distribution points. Israel's military hasn't responded to questions about the casualties. The attack follows an Israeli airstrike that killed eight people, including an Al Jazeera journalist. The escalating violence has resulted in over 1,700 deaths since May, raising international concern. Several countries are expressing support for a Palestinian state, while Egypt pushes for negotiations to end the conflict and secure the release of Israeli hostages.
