Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Israeli Strikes Continue in Gaza

The situation in Gaza remains critical as Israeli strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 34 Palestinians on Monday. These strikes followed a temporary easing of restrictions by Israel, including a pause in military activities in select areas to improve aid delivery to the population. Before this measure, Israel had largely blocked the entry of essential goods. While some aid measures are underway, including airdrops, aid agencies highlight that they are insufficient to address the escalating hunger crisis. Due to the lack of food, many Palestinians have risked their lives to obtain aid. Awda Hospital has reported receiving the bodies of Palestinians killed near an aid distribution site. The Health Ministry in Gaza, a widely respected source, indicates that more than 59,800 Palestinians have died since the start of the conflict, with a significant number being women and children.
