Hospital officials in Gaza say Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 38 Palestinians, while Israel has sent a ceasefire negotiating team to Qatar ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s White House visit.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 33 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials said on Sunday, as Israel’s military said it has struck over 100 targets in the embattled enclave in the past day.

As some Palestinians on Sunday waited to receive a hot meal at a food distribution point in Khan Younis in southern Gaza -- human rights groups say Gaza's population is facing famine-like conditions -- others were reeling after an Israeli drone attack claimed the lives of ten people.
