Israeli airstrikes targeted Gaza on Saturday, responding to three months of conflict in the region. The United Nations warned of Gaza becoming “uninhabitable,” with civilians enduring the brunt of the crisis.
The humanitarian situation is dire, with famine and disease threatening the population. The UN’s children’s agency highlighted the impact on over 1.1 million children in Gaza.
Israeli forces continued their operations across the territory, maintaining a high state of readiness near the Lebanese border. The conflict, triggered by a Hamas attack on Israel in October, has resulted in a significant number of casualties on both sides.
International diplomatic efforts are underway to address the humanitarian crisis and ease tensions in the region.
