As Day 55 of the Palestine-Israel conflict unfolds, the situation in Gaza is becoming increasingly dire. 😔 Overcrowding and a severe lack of food, water, sanitation, and basic hygiene are accelerating the spread of disease, warns the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Wednesday marks the sixth and potentially final day of the extended truce between Israel and Hamas. While negotiators are hustling to secure another extension, time is ticking to get more hostages out of Gaza. ⏳
In the past five days, Hamas has released 81 hostages, primarily women and children. On the flip side, Israel has freed 180 Palestinians from prison, many of whom were detained but never charged, mostly women and minors. 😮
The exchange brings a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil, but the clock is running out. Will the truce be extended? Stay tuned as we keep you updated on this unfolding story. 💔
