As the Israel-Palestine conflict enters its 79th day, Gaza's Government Media Office reports over 20,000 Palestinian deaths since Hamas' October 7 attack, which killed nearly 1,140 people in Israel. Israeli bombardments continue to target central and southern Gaza, including the Nuseirat refugee camp and Khan Younis, amid growing global calls for de-escalation.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
The UN Security Council has approved a resolution to rush aid into Gaza, where experts warn of \"imminent famine\" and disease outbreaks due to collapsed infrastructure. Over 85% of Gaza's population is displaced, with many sheltering in overcrowded UN facilities.
UN Steps In With Aid Resolution
While the resolution aims to streamline delivery of food, water, and medical supplies, aid groups stress that \"access remains a major hurdle\" as Israel maintains strict control over crossings. The World Food Programme calls the situation a \"humanitarian catastrophe,\" with children disproportionately affected.
