Overview

  • Israeli airstrikes on Gaza killed 120 people on Thursday, including 54 in Khan Younis, as heavy bombardment continued for a second consecutive night.
  • Gaza’s European Hospital in Khan Younis, the only facility providing cancer and cardiac care, has been rendered inoperable by Israeli strikes, halting vital treatments.
  • Nearly all of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents have been displaced at least once, with 90% of the population living in evacuation zones or under Israeli orders to leave.
  • Hamas insists on the restoration of humanitarian aid as a precondition for ceasefire talks, while U.S. President Trump suggests turning Gaza into a U.S.-run 'freedom zone.'
  • The war, now in its 19th month, has killed over 53,000 Palestinians, with Gaza on the brink of famine due to a three-month blockade on food, medicine, and fuel.
