Israeli Strikes Kill At Least 30 in Gaza

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is escalating as ongoing Israeli airstrikes have resulted in at least 30 deaths, predominantly among civilians, including women and children. Mohammad Atteya, recovering from a head injury in a Gaza City hospital, expresses deep regret for leaving his family behind in Beit Lahiya, where they face severe shortages and dire conditions. The United Nations has described the situation in northern Gaza as 'apocalyptic,' highlighting communication breakdowns and food scarcity amid intensified military operations aimed at Hamas fighters. Doctors Without Borders reports that Gaza's medical infrastructure, already weakened by years of blockade, is struggling with acute food insecurity and the resurgence of polio due to damaged sanitation systems. Former Israeli defense officials emphasize the tactical success of the military operations while cautioning about the need for a strategy that considers civilian impacts. The conflict has also spilled into the West Bank, exacerbating the region's instability.
