Israeli Airstrikes Deepen Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in the Shujaiya neighborhood of Gaza City killed at least 23 to 35 people, including women and children, with varying reports on the exact death toll. The attack targeted a senior Hamas militant according to the Israeli military, which has intensified its operations following the collapse of a ceasefire last month. The airstrike has led to widespread destruction, with many people trapped under the rubble and rescue efforts hindered by a lack of resources due to an ongoing blockade. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening, with acute shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies exacerbating the plight of the 2.4 million residents. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange fire, with ongoing efforts by international mediators to restore a ceasefire. The renewed violence has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with over 1,500 Palestinians reportedly killed since the resumption of hostilities.
