Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes over the past 48 hours have killed more than 90 Palestinians, including women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
  • The seven-week Israeli blockade has cut off all food, fuel, and aid to Gaza, leaving most residents surviving on less than one meal a day and exacerbating malnutrition and displacement.
  • Hamas continues to hold 59 hostages, rejecting Israeli demands to disarm and leave Gaza, while proposing a permanent truce in exchange for their release.
  • Israel has vowed to expand its military operations and establish permanent 'security zones' within Gaza, displacing hundreds of thousands of residents.
  • International organizations, including the UN and WHO, have called for immediate humanitarian access, warning of famine and collapsing medical infrastructure in Gaza.
