The Gaza crisis reached new severity as Israeli airstrikes killed over 100 Palestinians in 24 hours – one of the bloodiest days since the war resumed. Attacks destroyed homes, medical facilities and killed journalists, deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.
In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, strikes killed 60+ overnight, including journalist Hasan Samour and his family. Another reporter, Ahmad al-Helo, died in separate bombing. With these deaths, 217 media workers have been killed – the deadliest conflict for journalists ever recorded.
Northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp suffered a devastating strike on the Touba complex, killing 15 including 11 children and women. Horrific footage showed bodies of children pulled from rubble as relatives searched for survivors.
The Gaza crisis has now claimed over 53,000 lives since October 2023, including 15,000 children. Thousands more remain missing under rubble.
Healthcare Collapse
Gaza’s last cancer hospital, the European Hospital, stopped functioning after repeated Israeli attacks damaged critical infrastructure. Patients were evacuated to Nasser Hospital – which itself was bombed days earlier, killing recovering journalist Hassan Aslih.
UN reports confirm 686 attacks on Gaza’s health system, destroying 122 facilities and 180 ambulances. Major hospitals like Al-Ahli Arab lie in ruins.
Expulsions and Failed Diplomacy
Israel issued new mass expulsion orders for northern Gaza neighborhoods as strikes intensified. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks in Qatar show little progress.
Former U.S. President Trump controversially suggested America “take over” Gaza, calling for its transformation into a “freedom zone” – a proposal widely condemned as violating Palestinian self-determination.
As the Gaza crisis enters its 20th month, civilians face unprecedented suffering with no end in sight to the violence that has created what aid groups call the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.
