Israeli Airstrikes Kill Civilians in Gaza

A recent Israeli airstrike targeted tents housing displaced Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, resulting in at least four deaths and over 40 injuries, as reported by Palestinian media and confirmed by various news outlets. This attack is part of a broader Israeli strategy, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to clear northern Gaza of civilians and restrict humanitarian aid, which could exacerbate the crisis for those unable to evacuate. Meanwhile, another airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza led to the deaths of at least 20 individuals, including children, underscoring the escalating violence in the region. The ongoing conflict has claimed over 42,000 Palestinian lives, raising concerns about the safety of UN workers in the area. Aid workers express growing despair over the United Nations' inability to ensure their protection amid the continuing hostilities.
