AT LEAST 93 Palestinians were killed by Israeli air attacks in Gaza today.

Deadly Israeli attacks across Gaza during the early hours, including on the outskirts of Deir al-Balah and the city of Khan Younis, also injured hundreds more, Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed.

Today’s killing spree came as United States President Donald Trump finished his visit to Gulf states.

The US president did not visit Israel.

Even without Mr Trump visiting Israel, there had been widespread hope that his regional trip could usher in a ceasefire deal or renewal of humanitarian aid to Gaza. An Israeli blockade of the territory is now in its third month.

Speaking to reporters at a business forum in Abu Dhabi on the final day of his trip, Mr Trump said: “We’re looking at Gaza. And we’ve got to get that taken care of. A lot of people are starving. A lot of people are — there’s a lot of bad things going on.”

Tel Aviv said today that it was continuing its operations against fighters in Gaza and that it struck 150 targets in the past day, including anti-tank missile posts and military structures. 

The Israelis claim, without evidence, that they killed several militants who were operating in an observation compound.

The strikes lasted for hours into this morning and sent people fleeing from the Jabaliya refugee camp and the town of Beit Lahiya. 

They followed days of similar attacks that killed more than 130 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

“The army entered upon us, bombing and killing. We got out of the house with difficulty, killing and death, we did not take anything,” said Faisal al-Attar, who was displaced from Beit Lahiya.

The attacks come as Israel enters its third month of blockading Gaza, preventing food, fuel, medicine and all other supplies from entering, worsening a humanitarian crisis. 

Israel claims the blockade aims to pressure Hamas to release the hostages it still holds.

Earlier this week, a new humanitarian organisation that has US backing to take over aid delivery said it expects to begin operations before the end of the month.

A statement from the group, called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, identified several US military veterans, former humanitarian co-ordinators and security contractors that it said would lead the delivery effort.

Many in the humanitarian community, including the UN, said that the system does not align with humanitarian principles and won’t be able to meet the needs of Palestinians in Gaza and they refuse to participate in it.
