Gaza Devastated: Rising Civilian Toll in North Gaza Airstrikes

In a harrowing depiction of the ongoing conflict, Israel's airstrikes in North Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 93 individuals, as confirmed by Gaza's health ministry. The victims, primarily from the extended Abu Naser family, included men, women, and children who had taken refuge in a four-storey house.

This tragic event unfolded as civilians in Gaza continue to bear the brunt of conflict, amidst Israel's intensified military campaign against Hamas militants. Over 43,000 people have reportedly been affected since the offensive was triggered by a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation.

The international community has expressed concern over the rising civilian toll, with the U.N. and the World Food Programme urging immediate humanitarian action to avert a further crisis, highlighting the urgent need for a transparent investigation into the recent airstrike.
