Israel Seeks Full Gaza Control Amid Humanitarian Crisis

Gaza City residents are enduring worsening conditions amid a severe heatwave, minimal access to water and food, and the looming threat of further displacement as Israel announces plans to take over the city and establish full security control of the Gaza Strip. The move has intensified fears among Palestinian civilians, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times, over the prospects of forced evacuation and deteriorating humanitarian conditions. The international community, including the UN, Western nations, and Muslim countries, has condemned Israel's plan, warning of increased deaths, suffering, and possible atrocity crimes. Turkey and Egypt have called for a unified Muslim response to Israel's actions, while human rights organizations warn of the potential for famine and disease. In Israel, public protests are growing as citizens voice frustration with government policies and fatigue over the prolonged conflict. Diplomatic efforts toward a ceasefire and hostage release are ongoing, but the situation remains dire and unstable.
