Gaza in Crisis: Strikes, Evacuations, and a Humanitarian Catastrophe

The Israeli military continued airstrikes in Gaza, targeting areas used by militants firing rockets. Despite Israeli evacuation orders, destruction persists, worsening humanitarian conditions. Over 45,500 Palestinians have been killed, and most of the population has been displaced. The campaign follows Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces intensified airstrikes in northern Gaza, focusing on residential areas like Shejaia, according to local medics. The latest strikes resulted in at least eight Palestinian fatalities.

No immediate response was available from the Israeli military, but the conflict has led to speculation about Israel's intentions in northern Gaza, which Israel has denied.

As the humanitarian toll mounts, over 45,500 Palestinians have died, and the majority of Gaza's residents have been displaced since hostilities reignited following a deadly October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.
