Amid Israeli attacks in southern Gaza, at least 72 Palestinians have been killed since Thursday night, including women and children. The UN rights chief warned of potential “atrocity crimes” in the north of the territory.
Reports from Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis reveal the devastating impact of the air strikes, with images showing bodies at Nasser Hospital and survivors digging through rubble to rescue loved ones. The assaults have left many families mourning the loss of multiple relatives.
As the conflict escalates, the Israeli military faces criticism for targeting civilian facilities, including the Kamal Adwan Hospital. The UN has called for urgent action to prevent further loss of life and ensure respect for international humanitarian law.
Efforts for a ceasefire continue, with talks in Cairo and Doha aiming to end the offensive and secure the release of hostages. The international community must prioritize peace and aid access to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
