As the Palestine-Israel conflict enters its 77th day, Gaza is grappling with an escalating humanitarian crisis. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Thursday that northern Gaza is currently without a functional hospital, exacerbating the dire situation for residents seeking medical care.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their ground offensive, targeting new areas within Gaza City, including the neighborhoods of Daraj and Tuffah. An IDF spokesperson confirmed that these operations mark a significant push towards concluding the military campaign in northern Gaza.
Tragically, the death toll among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has surged to 20,000 since October 7, according to Gazan authorities. This figure includes more than 8,000 children and 6,200 women, highlighting the profound human cost of the ongoing conflict.
The international community remains deeply concerned about the escalating violence and the severe impact on civilians. Efforts to achieve a ceasefire and provide humanitarian aid are urgently needed to address the immediate needs of those affected.
