Gaza Hospitals Struggle Amid Israeli Strikes, Fuel Shortages, and Super-Bacteria Threat

Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of over 120 Palestinians in the past 48 hours, including seven members of one family. The strikes also damaged a hospital in northern Gaza, injuring medical staff and damaging equipment. The Israeli military claims the operations aim to prevent Hamas attacks, while local residents fear a strategy to depopulate the area. The hospital's director reported targeted bombardment of the emergency area, and further legal actions against Israeli officials are anticipated.

Biden's Vision for a 'Revitalized' Palestinian Authority Falls Short in Securing Gaza's Future

U.S. President Joe Biden's vision of a unified Palestinian government in the West Bank and Gaza, leading to a two-state solution, may not be enough to secure Gaza's future.
