Gaza Civil Defence Says 40 Dead in Israeli Strikes as Truce Talks Remain Deadlocked
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 13 – Deadlocked ceasefire talks stall as Israeli strikes kill 43 Palestinians, including 11 at a market and 10 at a water point, worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis, officials said.
- On July 13, 2025, Gaza's civil defence agency reported that Israeli air raids killed over 40 people, among them several children, at a location distributing water in the Nuseirat area of central Gaza.
- These strikes took place amid stalled ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, following the conflict triggered by Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in approximately 1,219 fatalities.
- The strikes targeted homes in Gaza City, a shelter occupied by displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza, and a market, with civilians queuing for water also among those killed.
- According to the civil defence agency’s spokesperson Mahmud Bassal, the most recent Israeli air strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 43 individuals. Meanwhile, on July 12, seven UN agencies issued a warning that severe fuel shortages are endangering humanitarian aid, medical services, and food availability.
- These developments underscore escalating humanitarian crises in Gaza and highlight persistent deadlock in truce negotiations between Israel and Hamas, complicating prospects for easing the violence.
