UN and Jordan Condemn Actions in Gaza Conflict

The United Nations and Jordan have condemned Israeli military actions in northern Gaza, labeling them as potential crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, respectively. In the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Israeli strikes have killed at least 38 people, including women and children, as reported by Palestinian officials and the Hamas-run health ministry. The Israeli military claims to target Palestinian gunmen and military infrastructure, but the impact on civilians has been severe, with many killed or injured and families digging through rubble to recover bodies. The Palestinian Prime Minister has described the situation as genocide, urging international intervention to halt the violence. Meanwhile, the U.S. has called for an end to the conflict and the release of hostages held by Hamas. The UN and other agencies have requested a truce to address humanitarian needs amid shortages of medical supplies in Gaza.
