Israel has launched a significant military offensive in central Gaza, particularly targeting the city of Deir al-Balah, which has raised alarms about a humanitarian crisis. With over 65 casualties reported, the World Health Organization (WHO) condemned Israeli attacks on its facilities and staff residences in the region, amidst global outcry for an immediate ceasefire. The escalating violence has prompted Israel to issue evacuation orders for civilians in central Gaza. As Israeli forces push deeper into areas previously spared from conflict, concerns mount regarding the well-being of hostages believed to be held in the vicinity and reports of mass starvation among the Palestinian population.
