Gaza City, Palestine: Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza with unprecedented intensity, reportedly killing over 100 people in one day. This surge lifts the Palestinian death toll past 53,000 since Israel’s offensive began in late 2023. Thousands remain missing amid rubble, and basic resources like food and medicine are nearly unreachable due to severe blockades. Israel argues it targets militant sites; critics decry heavy civilian casualties and humanitarian catastrophe. Calls for a ceasefire grow louder but remain unanswered.
