The Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in over 46,000 Palestinian deaths, the Gaza Health Ministry reported, marking another grim milestone in the ongoing struggle. The ministry highlighted that more than half of the fatalities are women and children, though distinctions between fighters and civilians remain unclarified.

Amid the rubble of Gaza, where entire neighborhoods have been reduced to debris, the human toll of the conflict is profound. With 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people displaced, many live in sprawling tent encampments alongside the coast, facing daily hardships in accessing basic needs like food and water.

Attempts to negotiate a ceasefire, mediated by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, have inched forward but repeatedly stalled. With the humanitarian situation worsening, a displaced resident expressed the region's despair: "We have no energy left; we want it to end today," revealing the deep-seated crisis felt by citizens.
