Israeli Strikes Kill 92 Palestinians in Two Days, Gaza Toll Exceeds 51,100

Over the past 48 hours, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed at least 90 Palestinians and wounded over 200, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, with strikes hitting populated and humanitarian zones such as Mwasi, Khan Younis, and Rafah. Many of the victims include women and children, some sheltering in designated safe areas, and there are reports of families mourning loved ones amid the devastation. The death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has surpassed 51,000, with tens of thousands more injured, as Israel intensifies its military campaign to pressure Hamas to release hostages and disarm. This escalation occurs alongside a six-week blockade that has sharply restricted food, fuel, and medical aid, leading to severe malnutrition and a worsening humanitarian crisis. Aid agencies and the World Health Organization are urging international intervention to allow humanitarian access, while the International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to permit aid but the blockade remains in place. Negotiations for a ceasefire have stalled due to disagreements over hostages and demands for Hamas to disarm.
