The Israel-Hamas conflict has escalated, causing a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel’s halting of essential deliveries and closure of the enclave’s crossing with Egypt have exacerbated challenges for Palestinians. International aid groups warn of dire consequences, especially in hospitals facing power shortages. With a potential ground invasion looming, concerns grow over higher casualties in densely populated Gaza. Tens of thousands seek refuge in U.N.-run schools amid widespread destruction. The international community expresses deep concern, with the U.S. pledging unwavering support. Urgent efforts are needed to address immediate needs and find a diplomatic resolution to end the violence.
