The conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with reports indicating that Israeli strikes have resulted in a rapidly rising death toll in Gaza. Recent attacks have killed dozens, including civilians in hospitals and refugee camps, sparking a humanitarian crisis as families in Khan Younis scavenge for food scraps. The latest reports suggest that the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 45,000, amidst warnings of famine in the region. Medical workers struggle to respond as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conduct air and ground operations targeting suspected Hamas positions, including strikes on schools serving as shelters. As ceasefire negotiations proceed, both the humanitarian situation and the violence remain dire.
