In an escalation of ongoing tensions, Israeli military strikes have resulted in the deaths of at least 32 individuals across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian health officials. The strikes have sparked a heightened siege around hospitals located in Jabalia, in the north of the enclave, escalating fears over worsening humanitarian conditions.

Reports indicate that multiple strikes have occurred across the region, including in central Gaza's Al-Maghzai camp and Nuseirat, leading to significant casualties. Israeli forces continue operations aimed at Hamas, which have reportedly resulted in fatal outcomes for both militants and civilians, particularly impacting vulnerable populations such as women and children.

Concerns are mounting as Israeli forces impose evacuations and tighten sieges around critical medical facilities, severely impacting medical aid and restricting supplies. Health officials have reported fatalities among critical care patients due to power outages and supply shortages, highlighting the urgent need for international humanitarian intervention.
