Overview

• Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots, a major offensive involving air and ground strikes across Gaza, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths.
• Over two-thirds of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents are displaced, with many living in overcrowded shelters or tents under dire conditions.
• An 11-week Israeli blockade has left Gaza on the brink of famine, with food, medicine, and fuel supplies nearly exhausted and soaring acute malnutrition reported.
• Israel has allowed nine aid trucks to enter Gaza, but international agencies warn this is grossly insufficient to address the humanitarian catastrophe.
• The ongoing crisis has drawn international condemnation, with UN officials describing the mass displacement as a potential war crime and global leaders urging Israel to lift the siege.
