Gaza death toll past 58k, says health ministry - as Israel admits strike "error" | BBC News

Ten people, including six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza on Sunday, emergency service officials say. Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd queuing with empty jerry cans next to a water tanker in al‑Nuseirat refugee camp. The Israeli military said there had been a "technical error" with a strike targeting an Islamic Jihad "terrorist" that caused the munition to fall dozens of metres from the target. The incident is under review, the military added. The death toll in Gaza has now past 58k, according to The Gaza Health Ministry. On Sunday US President Donald Trump said he hoped that indirect ceasefire talks taking place between Israel and Hamas in Qatar, would be "straightened out over the next week."
