Since Israel resumed its air attacks on Gaza on March 18, over 1,500 people have been killed, including at least 500 children, with the situation described by UN officials as a “post-apocalyptic” killing zone. Recent Israeli air raids resulted in more than 20 deaths in 24 hours, with reports of targeted strikes on civilian shelters, leading to displacement of around 400,000 Palestinians. Humanitarian supplies are critically low, and rights groups express alarm at the high number of women and children among the casualties, with accusations of potential war crimes against Israel.
