In a dramatic development, Israel has declared it will assume full control over Gaza. Rescue teams have reported over 50 casualties in recent strikes that intensify the ongoing military campaign.
After more than two months under a strict blockade, the World Health Organization warned that nearly two million people in Gaza face starvation. Essential supplies such as food, water, fuel, and medicine remain critically scarce.
In a bid to ease the humanitarian crisis, Israel announced limited aid access with the first trucks carrying baby food scheduled to roll in on Monday. However, an evacuation call was issued around Khan Younis in southern Gaza ahead of what authorities describe as an "unprecedented attack."
Gaza's civil defense agency reported 52 fatalities in the latest raids, while health authorities note that extensive ground and air operations have claimed over 53,000 lives overall, displacing almost all residents.
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has strongly criticized the recent actions, describing them as defiance of international law and cautioning that these measures risk severe humanitarian consequences. The international community is watching closely as events continue to unfold.
Stay informed, and our thoughts are with all those affected during these challenging times. 🙏
