Summary
Israeli air strikes in Khan Younis have killed at least 56 Palestinians, with local hospitals overwhelmed by casualties, including women and children. The Israeli military is intensifying its operations against Hamas, claiming that some hospitals and schools in Gaza City have become “terrorist strongholds,” leading to evacuation orders for residents. Meanwhile, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation plans to begin aid distribution within two weeks amid warnings of mass starvation, as Israel has blocked aid for 10 weeks following its military campaign against Hamas, which was launched after the group’s deadly attack on October 7, 2023.
