GAZA (AP) – Israeli bombings killed at least 15 people in Gaza overnight, including women and children, according to medical officials and an Associated Press body count on Sunday (Jul 21).
The new strikes occurred as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to fly for the United States on Monday, where he is set to meet with President Joe Biden and address Congress, making his case for the nine-month war against Hamas as cease-fire negotiations continue.
The discovery of the polio virus has exacerbated the already perilous humanitarian conditions inside besieged Gaza, as water and sanitation facilities have suffered for the territory’s 2.3 million people, the majority of whom have been displaced.
