Doha, October 28 (RHC)-- Egypt has proposed a limited two-day ceasefire in Gaza to exchange four Israelis for Palestinian prisoners as negotiations to end the year-long genocidal war resumed in Qatar’s capital, Doha.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed at least 53 people in Gaza and 21 people in Lebanon on Sunday as UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed shock at the “harrowing levels of death, injury and destruction” in besieged northern Gaza.

Israeli forces began by targeting at least five houses in Beit Lahiya, where at least dozens of Palestinians remain under the rubble till this point.  They also targeted a UN shelter school, where at least nine Palestinians were killed, among them three journalists and a nine-year-old child.

All of this comes amid a 23-day blockade and siege of northern Gaza, where no food and water is entering.  There is also a large number of people who are still trapped under the rubble and no one can reach the northern areas because of this siege on Beit Lahiya, Jabalia and Beit Hanoon.

Media reports say that the bombardments continue as people are trying to reach out, crying, feeling that they’ve been abandoned, asking for food, water and medicine.
