The humanitarian crisis in Gaza escalates as the war of genocide, now in its 685th day, persists with relentless aerial and artillery attacks from Israeli occupation forces. This devastating war, backed by US political and military support, has been met with widespread international indifference and a troubling lack of response from Arab nations.

Palestinian sources reported that since dawn on Thursday, multiple civilians have been killed due to Israeli gunfire in various regions across the Gaza Strip. Specific incidents include shelling in the north of Khan Yunis and artillery bombardments in Jabalia, where residential areas have been targeted.
Palestinian reports detailed the killing of one individual and injuries to others from Israeli shelling in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, as artillery fire continued in Sabra and a raid was conducted in Zeitoun, both located in Gaza City.

With unwavering American support, Israeli enemy forces are waging a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has so far left more than 62,122 martyrs, 156,758 injured, over 10,000 missing, and a famine that has claimed the lives of dozens. Meanwhile, more than two million Palestinians are living in conditions of forced displacement amidst widespread destruction.
Under the pressure of the overwhelming number of wounded and the lack of medical resources in Gaza, injured children are forced to share the pain on a single hospital bed… an image that captures the depth of the humanitarian tragedy.
