In a devastating escalation of violence, at least 105 Palestinians have been killed and more than 530 injured in the Gaza Strip in just the past 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave.
The latest Israeli airstrikes targeted densely populated urban areas, including homes, UN shelters, and refugee camps. Entire buildings have been leveled in the strikes, with many families buried under rubble.
Eyewitnesses report widespread panic and destruction, while medical teams are struggling to reach the injured due to ongoing bombardments and road damage.
According to doctors on the ground, Gaza’s hospitals are collapsing. There is a critical lack of electricity, clean water, and medical equipment. Medical staff are working without breaks to care for the wounded.
Meanwhile, Israel claims it is targeting Hamas infrastructure, but videos and survivor testimonies indicate that civilians and non-military buildings are being hit directly.
The United Nations, Red Crescent, and other international agencies have urged for immediate humanitarian access to Gaza and an end to the strikes that are causing immense suffering to the civilian population.
