The following is from the news roundup during the 6 November livestream. Watch the entire episode here.

In Gaza, Israel has continued to routinely kill and injure Palestinians in spite of the 10 October ceasefire, while desperately needed humanitarian aid, including shelter materials, medicine, basic food items and supplies for infrastructure repair remain blocked, and as most of the crossings remain closed.

On 5 November, Israel killed two Palestinians in separate incidents, claiming that they had crossed the so-called yellow line where the Israeli army maintains control. Al Jazeera reported that little information has been given about the location of this line, and it is still being physically marked on the ground, presenting another deadly hazard for Palestinians.

Reporter Ebrahim Saeed documented the invisible partition in northern Gaza, where Palestinians explain that they cannot reach their homes and belongings, and are constantly threatened by Israeli snipers and tanks.

Palestinians were shot and wounded by Israeli forces on Monday, 3 November, in southern Gaza.

Civil defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said that Israeli forces opened fire on a wedding that same day. The attack wounded several children including a 6-year-old girl, Sundus Hillis, in the Daraj quarter of Gaza City.

Basal said that the attack took place inside the so-called “safe yellow line” zone in that part of Gaza City, “an area designated under the US-brokered ceasefire as a first-phase boundary where Israeli occupation forces were meant to withdraw and halt all aggression.”

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor stated on 31 October that since the beginning of the ceasefire, 219 Palestinians had been killed, including 85 children.
