Israeli Strikes Renew in Gaza, Over 50,000 Palestinian Deaths Reported

Israeli military operations in Gaza have escalated, resulting in significant Palestinian casualties, including civilians such as a mother and her children in a tent, and widespread displacement affecting 90% of Gaza's population. Israel has ended a ceasefire, vowing to dismantle Hamas and secure the return of hostages taken during the October 2023 attack, while maintaining a blockade that has severely limited aid to Gaza. Strikes targeted militant groups but have drawn international scrutiny over potential violations of international law due to the high civilian toll. Concurrently, political developments in Jerusalem, including Prime Minister Netanyahu's push for unification, have intensified regional tensions and complicated humanitarian efforts amid claims of political interference by militant factions. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deepen as aid organizations face operational challenges amidst ongoing conflict and political discord.
