Recent airstrikes by Israeli forces in northern Gaza have resulted in a significant death toll, with reports indicating at least 20 to 28 casualties from a single attack on a school sheltering displaced individuals. Humanitarian organizations warn of a dramatic escalation in the humanitarian crisis as thousands remain trapped in areas like Jabalia, where bodies lie scattered across the streets following relentless bombardment. The situation has prompted international concern, with President Biden voicing apprehensions about civilian safety and the impact on peacekeeping forces. The IDF continues its offensive, claiming operations against Hamas while simultaneously affecting large swathes of the civilian population, leading to warnings from UN officials about the looming humanitarian catastrophe.
