Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill Dozens, Including Families and Children
Escalating violence has left over 44,700 Palestinians dead, with hospitals struggling to operate under siege and critical shortages.
- Israeli airstrikes over the weekend killed at least 22 Palestinians, including women and children, in attacks on refugee camps and flour distribution lines in Gaza.
- Hospitals in northern Gaza, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, face critical conditions after being shelled, with electricity, oxygen, and water supplies disrupted, endangering over 100 patients.
- The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 44,700 since the conflict began, with many of the casualties being women and children, according to local health authorities.
- Humanitarian aid remains severely constrained, with limited access through the Kerem Shalom crossing, the main entry point for supplies after the Rafah crossing was shut in May.
- The war, ongoing for over 14 months, began with Hamas' October 2023 attack on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and led to Israel's retaliatory offensive targeting Hamas militants.
