American veterans are working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to get aid to Palestinians in need of food after facing nearly two years of war.

An activist group says two of its boats taking part in a flotilla trying to reach war-torn Gaza were attacked by drones in two days.

They are the first children to be brought to the UK for treatment as part of a government operation being co-ordinated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Home Office and Department of Health. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper confirmed the children had been evacuated from Gaza in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper.

The killing of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk has drawn mourning from the forum representing families of hostages still held in Gaza for 706 days.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which has organized dozens of boats to sail to Gaza carrying humanitarian aid, said that one of its main vessels was targeted in a drone strike just after midnight local time on Tuesday while docked near the Tunisian capital.

Organisers said two boats were hit in separate incidents; Tunisian authorities disputed the first and have not commented yet on the second.

As Israel calls up tens of thousands of reservists for its invasion of Gaza City, a growing number of soldiers are saying no.

More than 4,000 participants, including Academy Award-winning actors and filmmakers, signed the pledge condemning the "unrelenting horror" in Gaza.

Terror threats from Hamas force Gaza aid organization to temporarily halt operations, highlighting ongoing interference with humanitarian assistance reaching civilians.
