Israeli Military Divides Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict, Humanitarian Crisis Intensifies

The Gaza conflict remains intense and unresolved despite a ceasefire agreement brokered by President Donald Trump, with ongoing Israeli military operations killing civilians and Hamas continuing to control parts of Gaza. Israeli forces are consolidating control over about half of the Gaza Strip, strengthening fortifications and maintaining a long-term presence, while Hamas refuses to disarm, complicating peace efforts. Humanitarian conditions in Gaza are dire, with over 90% of homes damaged or destroyed, critical infrastructure in ruins, and over two million Palestinians facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical care. Aid delivery remains severely restricted by Israel, and civilian casualties continue even during food distributions, worsening sanitation and health crises. Journalists and photographers have documented the human cost and suffering under siege, highlighting the toll on civilians caught in the protracted conflict. Overall, the ceasefire appears fragile, and the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate amid ongoing violence and political deadlock.
