60 Palestinians killed in overnight Israeli airstrikes on Gaza

More than 60 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza strip overnight, Gaza medical sources said on Sunday (October 22).

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed a fifth Palestinian in the occupied West Bank, bringing the number of deaths to 90 since October 7, the Palestinian health ministry said.

The attacks came as Israel added 14 communities to its evacuation plan in the north of the country, a joint statement by the defense ministry and military said.

The communities outlined in the statement, which were approved by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, lie close to Lebanon and Syria.

The first humanitarian aid convoy allowed into the besieged Gaza Strip since war broke out arrived through the Rafah border crossing on Saturday. The United Nations said the 20-truck convoy brought life-saving supplies that would be received by the Palestinian Red Crescent.

But the UN humanitarian office said the volume of goods that entered on Saturday was just 4% of the daily average of imports into Gaza before the hostilities and a fraction of what was needed after 13 days of siege of the crowded enclave._Agencies
