# Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli strikes killed at least 44 people today across the war-ravaged Palestinian territory, where Israel has intensified a military offensive aimed at crushing Hamas. Aid trickled into the Gaza Strip yesterday for the first time in more than two months, following widespread condemnation of Israel’s total blockade that has sparked shortages of food and medicine. The Israeli army stepped up its offensive in Gaza on Saturday, saying it was aimed at defeating Hamas, the Islamist group that runs the Palestinian territory.
