A series of devastating Israeli airstrikes on northern Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 73 people, according to medical sources. The strikes included a targeted attack on a hospital complex where many civilians had sought refuge, killing several patients and igniting fires in nearby tent camps. Palestinian officials report that the recent escalation has pushed the total death toll from the ongoing conflict to over 42,000. UN officials have called for an immediate ceasefire as civilians continue to suffer in the besieged region. The violence has drawn international condemnation, with concerns about the high number of civilian casualties. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is critical, with health workers appealing for assistance amid the onslaught of airstrikes.
