Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 50,000 as Israel Resumes Military Campaign

The collapse of a two-month ceasefire has led to renewed Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, with most victims reported to be women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry and the United Nations.
The January ceasefire agreement failed after Israel and Hamas could not agree on implementing its second phase, which required Israel's withdrawal from Gaza.
Israel resumed airstrikes and ground operations last week, citing Hamas' rejection of mediation proposals and threats to Israeli communities.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with widespread displacement, famine, and a collapsing healthcare system worsened by Israel's blockade on aid.
Diplomatic efforts to revive negotiations have stalled, as mediators face challenges from the intensity of renewed violence and deep-seated disagreements.
