Israeli Airstrikes Kill Hundreds in Gaza; Fuel and Medical Supplies Dwindle Amidst Continuous Conflict
UN Secretary-General calls for immediate ceasefire amidst escalating violence; no fuel deliveries admitted into Gaza, leading to shutdown of hospitals and relief agencies; Israel rejects claims of errant Israeli missile hitting Al-Ahli Arab hospital.
- Israeli airstrikes have escalated across the Gaza Strip leading to the shutdown of medical facilities due to bomb damage and lack of power. In a single day, around 700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were reportedly killed by airstrikes.
- As Israel continues to seal off Gaza following an attack by Hamas, its 2.3 million people are running out of essentials. UNRWA warns that its operations could halt due to a lack of fuel.
- Hamas maintains that it uses figures from hospital directors to tally death counts, which currently stand over 5,700, with some 2,300 minors. U.S. officials have stated that these figures cannot be verified and have concerns about potential Hamas control over health information.
- Reports indicate that Hamas used a network of underground tunnels for communication to plan the surprise attack on Israel, which killed over 1,400 people and led to more than 200 hostages being taken by Hamas into Gaza.
- Queen Rania of Jordan accused Western leaders of a 'glaring double standard' for failing to condemn the deaths of civilians under Israeli bombardment in Gaza, stating that the world's reaction makes the Western world complicit.
