The Israeli military is conducting intense operations in various parts of the Gaza Strip. The ground offensive is being supported by warplanes and heavily armed artillery units, according to reporters at the scene.
Amid this renewed offensive, Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that in the past 24 hours, 8 more Palestinians, including a child, have died from starvation due to the Israeli blockade and imposed artificial famine.
The besieged Gaza region is facing a severe humanitarian disaster caused by continuous blockade and shortages of food, water, and medicine. Local hospitals have effectively shut down. The United Nations and international human rights organizations have described the situation in Gaza as a "disaster reaching the level of crimes against humanity."
Residents report widespread destruction in densely populated residential areas caused by the ongoing Israeli offensive. Many people are feared trapped under the rubble.
Analysts warn that Israel’s new military tactics will bring further devastation across the Gaza Strip and deepen the humanitarian crisis.
