Escalating Tensions: Israeli Strikes and Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

Recent Israeli strikes in Gaza resulted in 13 casualties and have intensified the humanitarian crisis. Aid trucks reached northern Gaza for the first time in weeks, amid escalating conflict. The war, ongoing for over a year, has displaced a vast majority of Gaza's population.

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza resulted in the death of at least 13 individuals, including women and children, as heavy fighting continues. Among the casualties were local journalists and a pregnant woman, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The Israeli military claims the strikes targeted members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

Despite the violence, humanitarian efforts made headway as 11 aid trucks containing essential supplies reached northern Gaza. This marks the first aid delivery to that region since the onset of the latest military campaign. The United Nations has raised concerns about the potential for widespread famine.

The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant civilian displacement, with over 90% of Gaza's population forced from their homes, according to the UN. Tension remains high, with accusations of militant groups operating within civilian areas escalating the humanitarian crisis.
