At least 80 people reportedly died in Gaza due to Israeli strikes on May 14th, as talks for the liberation of hostages went ahead in Qatar, according to Al-Monitor via AFP.
Mohammad Awad, an emergency doctor at Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital, told AFP that his department could not effectively deal with those wounded. He attributed this to supply shortages.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister spoke with US envoy Steve Witkoff and his team about “the issue of the hostages and the missing.” Witkoff stated Trump had “a really productive conversation” with Qatar’s emir about a Gaza agreement. He added: “We are moving along and we have a good plan together.”
