Israel launched dozens of airstrikes across northern and southern Gaza on Friday, killing more than 93 people and wounding hundreds.
The strikes followed days of similar attacks that killed more than 130 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, and came as US President Donald Trump wrapped up a visit to Gulf states — but not Israel.
FRANCE 24's Erin Ogunkeye is joined by Yasmine Ahmed, UK Director of Human Rights Watch.

The image depicts a woman seated on a cream-colored, ornate sofa with floral-patterned cushions. She is wearing a dark green, long-sleeved dress with intricate gold embroidery and a square neckline. The dress is complemented by a gold necklace with a star pendant and matching earrings. Her hair is long, wavy, and brown, adorned with a green headband featuring a pearl-like embellishment. She holds a golden object, possibly a decorative item, in her right hand. The background includes a dark green wall with framed portraits, adding to the historical ambiance. The woman's expression is serious, and she is looking directly at the viewer. The overall setting suggests a historical or fantasy theme.
