Over 40,000 Palestinians, including at least 16,456 children, have been killed in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, with Gaza's health ministry reporting a dire humanitarian crisis. Talks for a ceasefire have commenced in Doha, involving key figures such as CIA Director William Burns. The United Nations and various human rights organizations have condemned the massive civilian toll and destruction, with more than 60% of Gaza's buildings damaged or destroyed and nearly 90% of its population displaced. Despite international calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid, the conflict continues to inflict severe casualties and suffering, as highlighted by tragic personal accounts of families devastated by airstrikes. The Israeli military asserts its operations target only military objectives, but the widespread impact on civilians and infrastructure remains profound.
