Nearly 90 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza
Gulf Today
|May 17, 2025
Rescuers said Israeli strikes on Gaza killed nearly 90 people on Friday, while Hamas demanded the United States press Israel to lift a sweeping aid blockade in return for a US-Israeli hostage released by the group.
-
In early March, shortly before the collapse of a two-month ceasefire in its war against Hamas, Israel reimposed a total blockade on the Gaza Strip, where aid agencies have warned of critical shortages of everything from food and clean water to fuel and medicines.
US President Donald Trump acknowledged on Friday that “a lot of people are starving” in the besieged Palestinian territory.
“We're looking at Gaza. And we're going to get that taken care of,” Trump told reporters in Abu Dhabi, on a regional tour that excluded key ally Israel.
Israel says its decision to cut off aid to Gaza was intended to force concessions from Hamas, which still holds dozens of Israeli hostages seized during the October 7, 2023 attack that sparked the war.
Hamas on Monday freed Edan Alexander, the last living hostage with US nationality, after direct engagement with the Trump administration that left Israel sidelined.
