Israeli Assault on Gaza Continues Amid Growing Humanitarian Crisis

Over 21,000 Palestinians killed, health capacity at 20%, conflict spreads to other regions

• Israeli forces continue to press their assault on Gaza, with a telecommunications blackout hampering rescue efforts. The war on Hamas is expected to last for many months, according to Israel's military chief.
• Over 21,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes, with thousands more feared to be buried under rubble. Nearly all of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes.
• The World Health Organization reports that Gaza's health capacity is now only 20% of what it was 80 days ago, with hospitals overwhelmed by trauma cases.
• The conflict is spreading, with Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia claiming responsibility for a missile attack on a container ship in the Red Sea and an attempt to attack Israel with drones.
• In Washington, discussions are underway about what happens when the war ends, including governance and security in Gaza, and efforts to bring home the remaining hostages.
