Hamas Threatens Hostages as Israel Intensifies Gaza Offensive

International concern grows over humanitarian crisis as nearly 85% of Gaza's population is displaced amid ongoing conflict.

Israeli forces continue to battle Hamas in Gaza's largest cities, with civilians still trapped in the fighting. Israel has pledged to keep fighting until it removes Hamas from power and returns all hostages taken by militants.
Hamas has threatened to kill all remaining hostages unless Israel complies with its demands for more aid and the release of more Palestinian prisoners.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on Hamas soldiers to surrender and stated that the conflict is reaching the 'beginning of the end'.
The conflict has resulted in thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths and has driven nearly 85% of Gaza's 2.3 million people from their homes.
International concern is growing over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with the UN Secretary General warning of a potential mass exodus of Palestinians into Egypt.
