Six More Palestinians Killed as IDF Strikes Continue Amid Deepening Humanitarian Crisis

Israeli airstrikes continued across the Gaza Strip on May 29, 2026 (Day 961), killing at least six more Palestinians as the humanitarian crisis deepened. The Palestine Chronicle reported ongoing casualties amid continuing ceasefire violations, hunger, and siege conditions. Hamas has documented 3,005 ceasefire violations since the October 2025 agreement, with only 49,973 of the 135,600 mandated aid trucks having entered (36% compliance). The WSWS reported on May 29 that Israel is stepping up efforts to extend territorial control under cover of ongoing US-Iran negotiations. Cumulative Palestinian deaths in Gaza since October 7, 2023 have surpassed 74,000. The UN Security Council is deadlocked, with the US continuing to veto binding resolutions. Phase 2 ceasefire talks remain stalled over Hamas's refusal to disarm and Israel's refusal to commit to a permanent end to the war.
