Israel and U.S. Escalate Middle East Offensives, Civilians Bear Heavy Toll

Renewed Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and U.S. attacks on Houthi-controlled Yemen intensify regional conflicts, with mounting casualties and humanitarian crises.

La guerra de Israel contra Hamás tras el ataque de la milicia palestina el 7 de octubre de 2023 se ha cobrado más de 50.399 vidas en la Franja de Gaza. El conflicto en Oriente Próximo se diversificó con hasta siete frentes abiertos que culminaron con un alto el fuego inestable en Gaza y las liberaciones de rehenes y presos.

Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes in Gaza over the past 48 hours have killed at least 92 people, raising the post-ceasefire death toll to 1,783 and injuries to 4,683, according to Gaza's health ministry.
  • The ongoing Israeli blockade of Gaza, now over a month long, has caused severe shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies, pushing the population toward famine.
  • The U.S. Central Command confirmed the destruction of the Houthi-controlled Ras Isa fuel port in Yemen, with Houthi-linked sources reporting 74 killed and 171 injured in the strikes.
  • Israel intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen, reportedly without causing injuries or damage, signaling a widening regional conflict.
  • UN and local aid agencies warn of worsening humanitarian crises in Gaza, with displaced populations and skyrocketing food prices exacerbating civilian suffering.
