Israeli Airstrikes Continue to Devastate Gaza's Largest Refugee Camp

Israeli airstrikes continue to hit apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City for a second day, causing many deaths and injuries, according to the Hamas-run government. The toll from the strikes is not yet known. Meanwhile, foreign passport holders have been allowed to leave Gaza for the first time since the start of the Israel-Hamas war over three weeks ago. Communications and internet services are gradually being restored after a major blackout, but humanitarian aid agencies warn that such blackouts severely disrupt their work in an already dire situation in Gaza. The death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has reached 8,525 Palestinians and over 1,400 people in Israel. Jordan has recalled its ambassador from Israel in protest over the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza, and Israeli forces have raided a refugee camp in the West Bank, killing three Palestinians. Lebanese leaders are calling for a ceasefire to prevent the war from escalating, and heads of Israeli universities have expressed concern over anti-Israel and antisemitic discourse at some universities. Reporters Without Borders accuses both sides of committing possible war crimes and calls for an investigation by the International Criminal Court. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls on Muslim nations to stop exporting food and oil to Israel.
