Israeli Strikes in Gaza Lead to Widespread Casualties and Humanitarian Crisis

Credited from: BBC

  • Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 59 Palestinians across Gaza in recent days.
  • Schools and shelters for displaced families are under attack, resulting in numerous civilian deaths.
  • The humanitarian situation has deteriorated dramatically, with aid supplies running critically low.

Israeli strikes across Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 59 Palestinians, including women and children, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis in the region. Recent attacks include a bombing on a school turned shelter in Bureij refugee camp, where 33 people were killed the day prior. Multiple strikes on schools and residential areas continue to deepen the impact on civilians, with over 52,600 reported deaths since the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023, according to local health officials and humanitarian agencies according to BBC, India Times, and Reuters.

The recent strikes have severely affected displaced persons, particularly in northern Gaza where schools have been repurposed as shelters. In one tragic incident, 13 individuals, including a local journalist, were killed in two assaults on the Karama School, drawing international condemnation according to TRT Global and TRT Global.

The ongoing Israeli blockade, intensified since early March, has created a catastrophic humanitarian scenario. Food and medical supplies are critically low, with organizations like World Central Kitchen halting food aid due to lack of supplies. Reports indicate widespread malnutrition and the potential for famine as aid deliveries have plummeted significantly according to Al Jazeera and Reuters.

As the humanitarian crisis continues to escalate, humanitarian workers are calling for international intervention to restore aid access and prevent further loss of life. The situation remains critical, with numerous families trapped under rubble and others facing starvation according to Al Jazeera and BBC.
