Gaza City Under Attack: Seven Civilians Killed in Israeli Bombardment
Tragedy struck the Shejaiya neighborhood in Gaza City as at least seven civilians were killed and dozens injured in a relentless Israeli bombardment, according to the Civil Defense Agency. The Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City was overwhelmed with casualties, with many more dead and injured awaiting assistance on the streets and inside homes. Despite the danger, civil defense teams were unable to reach the site due to the intensity of the attack.
The Israeli army issued an evacuation order for residents of eastern neighborhoods, urging them to move to a safer area. This brutal offensive, in violation of a UN Security Council resolution, has drawn widespread international condemnation. More than 37,700 Palestinians have lost their lives in Gaza since the conflict escalated, with the majority being women and children.
The devastation in Gaza is palpable, with essential supplies limited due to a crippling blockade. As Israel faces accusations of genocide, the International Court of Justice has intervened to demand a halt to military operations. The people of Gaza continue to endure unimaginable suffering as the conflict rages on.
