Gaza strikes kill 120 as Hamas says aid entry ‘minimum requirement’ for talks

Palestinian rescuers reported 120 deaths in Gaza due to Israeli strikes, amidst ongoing humanitarian aid blockades since March 2, which Israel claims are aimed at pressuring Hamas for concessions. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to distribute aid soon, but the UN has rejected involvement, emphasizing humanitarian access should not be negotiated. Meanwhile, tensions escalated as Hamas condemned Israel’s actions and U.S. President Trump suggested U.S. involvement in Gaza, asserting it should become a “freedom zone,” to which Hamas responded that Gaza is not for sale.
