"Escalating Israeli Attacks Ignite Urgent Calls for Gaza Ceasefire"

Despite growing international calls for a ceasefire, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip continue, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people, including women and children. The bombardment has left much of Gaza in ruins, displacing an estimated 1.9 million Palestinians and leading to warnings of a "breakdown of civil order" by the United Nations. Pressure is mounting on the Israeli government to slow, suspend, or end the military campaign, including from its top ally, the United States.
