Israeli air and ground operations in Gaza have resulted in significant casualties, with recent air strikes killing dozens, including children. The health ministry in Gaza reports nearly 44,000 deaths since the conflict escalated over a year ago. Meanwhile, Israeli military actions in Lebanon killed Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif and others in Beirut, as the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in both regions draw international concern. Calls for urgent aid and actions to address the humanitarian crisis are growing louder from regional and global leaders.
