Israeli forces intensified their military campaign in the Northern Gaza Strip's Jabalia, reportedly targeting shelters and schools, according to residents and medical sources. The operations have led to significant infrastructure damage and have compounded an already dire humanitarian crisis.

Hospitals like the Indonesian and Kamal Adwan are grappling with severe shortages of medical supplies and power outages. The United Nations has expressed grave concerns over restricted access to these facilities, highlighting potential human rights violations amid forced displacements.

Israel states its operations aim to dismantle militant infrastructure and separate Hamas fighters from civilians, although Palestinian officials have condemned the actions as ethnic cleansing. The ongoing conflict continues to claim lives, with over 42,500 fatalities reported in Gaza.
