Nowhere is Safe: Palestinians Trapped in Gaza Amid Relentless Israeli Bombing
Israeli airstrikes continue to pound the Gaza Strip, including areas previously declared as safe zones, leaving more than 2 million Palestinians trapped in the territory with nowhere to seek refuge. Overwhelmed hospitals are struggling to provide medical care with dwindling supplies and fuel shortages. The Israeli military's relentless attacks are in retaliation for a Hamas rampage in southern Israel, while Palestinian militants continue to fire rockets into Israel. Aid delivery from Egypt is being negotiated, but the situation remains dire, with many residents down to one meal a day and drinking dirty water. The Gaza Health Ministry reports thousands of casualties, and more than a million Palestinians have fled their homes. The fragile deal to get aid into Gaza through the Egypt-Gaza border remains uncertain, and the situation is further complicated by violence in the West Bank and Lebanon.
