Israeli drone attack in Gaza City leaves five Palestinians dead and several injured, as confirmed by multiple sources. The Civil Defense Service spokesman in Gaza reported three casualties in Tel al-Hawa, while more were injured in Zeitoun. In another strike, two Palestinians lost their lives in Sheikh Radwan. The Israeli army also targeted Deir al-Balah and Al-Bureij, defying a UN cease-fire call since an Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack.
With over 40,000 casualties, including many women and children, and 92,000 injuries, Gaza faces a humanitarian crisis. The ongoing Israeli offensive has left parts of the region in ruins, amid a severe shortage of essentials like food and medicine. Charges of genocide against Israel have led to an ICJ order to cease military operations in Rafah, where civilians sought refuge before the May 6 invasion.
Despite these atrocities, Gaza remains resolute in the face of adversity, with hopes for peace and justice. The international community must act swiftly to end the bloodshed and restore dignity to the long-suffering people of Gaza.
