International condemnation grew on Saturday over Israel’s decision for a military takeover of Gaza City, while little appeared to change immediately on the ground in the territory shattered by 22 months of war.

Health officials said that 11 Palestinians seeking aid were shot dead, and 11 adults died of malnutrition-related causes in the past 24 hours.
