An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in northern Gaza has reportedly killed at least 72 people, including women and children. The strike is part of ongoing military operations against Hamas following the group’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Amidst the escalating conflict, the United Nations has warned of an imminent famine in the region, attributing the humanitarian crisis to the blockade imposed by Israel. International calls for investigations into alleged war crimes and genocide continue to grow, with Pope Francis urging further scrutiny of Israel’s military actions.
