A newborn died Monday afternoon, hours after she was delivered in a surgery following the killing of her mother in Gaza Strip, a hospital said.

The local pause in fighting came days after ceasefire efforts between Israel and Hamas appeared to be in doubt.

The IDF plans to airdrop seven pallets of aid to Gaza Saturday, establishing humanitarian corridors as the U.N. warns of increased malnutrition in the region.

Israeli forces intercepted the Handala, a Gaza-bound ship carrying aid and activists, within 70 nautical miles of its intended destination on Saturday night.

President Donald Trump is in Scotland, where he is meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to refine a trade deal the two leaders signed last month. During the meeting, Trump said that Israel “has a lot of responsibility” for what is happening in Gaza.
