Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip — Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday. At least 77 were killed over the past 24 hours, most while seeking food.

The New York Times and The Jerusalem Post report that Israel has no evidence of Hamas looting of UN aid in Gaza.

World aid groups have criticized Israel for the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel has denied the accusations.

Twenty-one months into Israel’s war in Gaza, the enclave is gripped by escalating scenes of death and hunger, with some killed while trying to reach aid, others dying of starvation and growing condemnation of Israel’s conduct even among many of its closest allies.

Israel wants the United Nations to remain the main provider of humanitarian aid in Gaza, especially if a ceasefire is reached, according to Carl Skau, deputy executive director of the World Food Programme.
