Civilian Toll Rises Amid Intensified Israeli Strikes in Gaza
Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza have reportedly killed 30 people, including 13 children, according to local civil defense officials. The strikes targeted a house in Jabalia, resulting in numerous injuries, with more casualties feared in the aftermath. This escalation comes as Israel continues its campaign to dismantle Hamas in the region, following the October 7 attack that triggered the conflict. The UN has condemned the high civilian death toll, declaring severe humanitarian conditions amidst warnings of imminent famine. The situation remains dire as aid deliveries have dwindled significantly, raising alarms from humanitarian agencies.
