Amid escalating violence, the Israeli military issues new evacuation warnings in central Gaza, affecting aid distribution. Despite ongoing ceasefire talks, military activities persist, and humanitarian conditions worsen.

Israeli troops are preparing for ground operations in central Gaza for the first time since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, raising hopes that some of the remaining 50 hostages may be located.

The health ministry and a hospital director in Gaza City said that more than 60 people were killed in the attack, which took place near the Zikim crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel. A nearby field hospital was flooded with victims, including more than 100 who were wounded.

Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks face challenges over aid distribution as tensions rise between the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and U.N. regarding humanitarian assistance.

CAIRO/JERUSALEM/GAZA, July 12 (Reuters) - Progress is stalling at talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza, with the sides divided over the extent of Israeli forces' withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave, Palestinian and Israeli sources familiar with the negotiations in Doha said on Saturday.
