Israel has intensified its military operations across the Gaza Strip, launching heavy air and ground strikes against Palestinian civilians already suffering from over a year of war. The attacks, which began late Wednesday and continued into early Thursday, have resulted in at least 71 deaths, including women, children, and newborn babies. Entire residential buildings in Khan Younis, Rafah, and Beit Lahia have been reduced to rubble, leaving families trapped beneath the debris.

The Israeli army has also reestablished control of the Netzarim Corridor, effectively splitting Gaza and isolating residents from one another. The situation on the ground has become increasingly dire, with hospitals overwhelmed and running out of medical supplies. Humanitarian aid remains blocked, deepening the suffering of those desperately in need of food, water, and medical care. Civil defense teams are struggling to rescue people buried under collapsed buildings, but with resources stretched thin, many victims remain unreachable.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened significantly, with no safe shelter available for civilians. Despite evacuation orders directing families to move to so-called safer areas, those locations have also been heavily bombarded. Residents have nowhere to go, and the continuous Israeli military operations leave little hope for relief. The destruction and loss of life continue to mount, further exacerbating an already catastrophic situation.

As the airstrikes persist, the people of Gaza face an uncertain and devastating reality. With no sign of de-escalation, the humanitarian crisis is expected to deepen, leaving thousands at risk without basic necessities or protection from ongoing attacks.
