Following Israel’s three-day attack on the population of Gaza – and the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire – the United Nations offers this update on the situation and humanitarian needs left in the wake of the Israeli violence.
Women, children, and seniors are among the injured and dead in Gaza, as Israel continues its bombardment of the blockaded population.
Israeli airstrikes have killed 15 Palestinians; at least 140 Palestinians – more than half children, and many women – have been injured, including some who suffered life-threatening wounds. In only two days, Israel has targeted 650 homes and buildings. This is a developing story.
CNN investigates the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on May 11 and says she was targeted by an Israeli sniper positioned 600 feet away from her with a clear line of sight.
