On February 29, 2024, Israeli forces opened fire on on thousands of Palestinians who had gathered in an open area of Gaza City hoping to receive food. Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza, has charged that Israeli policy is “aimed at pushing Palestinians to leave Gaza under the continued bombing and siege."
Israeli attacks have killed nearly 20,000 Gazans while displacing over 85% of the strip's 2.3 million people since early October.

Palestinian officials said Israel launched airstrikes on or near at least three hospitals on Friday. People were fleeing outside the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City after an explosion. Margaret Harris, a WHO spokesperson, said 20 hospitals in Gaza were out of action and that there was 'intense violence' at Shifa.
A witness with the pro-Israel crowd said that pro-Palestinian protesters crossed the street and hit Mr. Kessler on the head with a megaphone, causing him to fall and hit his head.
