Israeli Ground Offensive and Bombardment Deepen Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

Israeli forces have continued a major ground offensive in Gaza City, causing extensive civilian casualties and forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes amid worsening famine and collapsing healthcare facilities. Despite international pressure and lobbying to US President Donald Trump for a ceasefire, Israel maintains its military operations, halting aid deliveries and rejecting UN requests to bring supplies into northern Gaza. Hospitals like Al-Shifa, Al-Rantisi Children's Hospital, and Gaza's Eye Hospital have been bombed or forced out of service, leaving thousands without critical medical care and prompting aid groups like Doctors Without Borders to suspend activities due to security risks. A Reuters investigation revealed that an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, which killed 22 people including journalists, targeted a camera mistakenly believed to belong to Hamas but actually belonged to a Reuters journalist, highlighting concerns over military actions and command decisions. The sustained Israeli siege and bombardment are described by medical sources and aid organizations as part of a systematic campaign resulting in mass displacement, starvation of children, and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
