Israeli Airstrikes Kill 38 Palestinians in Gaza, Death Toll Reaches 50,846

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have intensified, resulting in significant civilian casualties, with reports indicating at least 45 Palestinians killed in recent attacks, including a bombing in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood that left many trapped under rubble. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim they targeted infrastructure related to Hamas and conducted operations across various regions, while local health authorities report a rising death toll, now exceeding 50,800 since the military offensive's onset in October 2023. Humanitarian access has been severely restricted, with the UN noting that Israeli authorities have denied the majority of aid coordination attempts in recent weeks. The ongoing violence has escalated following the cessation of a ceasefire on March 18, contributing to widespread fear of further displacement among residents. International efforts, including peace talks led by Qatar and Egypt, have yet to yield results in halting the conflict, which continues to raise alarms regarding potential violations of ceasefire agreements. Concerns about the humanitarian crisis are growing, as emergency services struggle to reach victims trapped under debris.
