Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City have claimed at least 40 lives, with many residents refusing to evacuate despite orders, citing a lack of safe havens. The escalation comes as Israel aims to dismantle Hamas and take control of the war-torn city, where nearly a million people remain sheltering amid relentless attacks. 🏙️💥
Nowhere to Run
Medical sources report 14 civilians, including children, were killed in a single strike in Al-Tuwam. Meanwhile, deadly explosions rocked southern Gaza, where displaced families had fled seeking safety. 'People are exhausted and terrified,' said Amjad Al-Shawa of the Palestinian NGOs Network. Only 10% of Gaza City’s population has left since evacuation orders began a month ago.
Humanitarian Zone Expansion
Israel announced plans to expand a southern aid corridor, 'Crossing 147,' to accommodate more displaced civilians. But the UN and global leaders have condemned conditions in the designated safe zone, calling for urgent ceasefires and criticizing the lack of basic resources. 🆘
Global Outcry
International pressure mounts as civilian casualties rise. Analysts compare the crisis to a dystopian thriller—except this is real life. 'The world can’t look away,' tweeted one activist. With no end in sight, Gaza’s residents brace for more uncertainty. 🌍✊
