Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans for Israel to "take control" of Gaza as the first humanitarian aid trucks in months prepared to enter the besieged territory. The move comes amid escalating violence, with Gaza health authorities reporting over 50 deaths in recent strikes and the UN warning of "ethnic cleansing" risks.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Two million people face starvation in Gaza, according to the WHO, as Israel’s blockade enters its third month. Limited aid deliveries—including baby food—are set to begin Monday, but UN agencies say it’s "too little, too late" for families surviving on scraps. 🚨
Evacuation Orders & "Unprecedented Attack"
Residents near Khan Younis received urgent evacuation warnings ahead of an Israeli military operation described as "unprecedented." This follows expanded ground campaigns targeting Hamas, whose October 2023 attack triggered the ongoing conflict.
Global Outcry Grows
The UN Human Rights Office condemned Israel’s "methodical destruction" of neighborhoods and aid restrictions as violations of international law. Over 53,000 people have reportedly been killed in Gaza since the war began, with civilians bearing the brunt.
As trucks inch toward Gaza’s borders, the world watches: Will aid reach those in need—or become collateral in a widening war? 💔
