Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have claimed at least 25 lives, including 11 at a school sheltering displaced individuals, amid ongoing conflict despite proposed ceasefire talks. Intense bombardments have heightened the humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by a blockade leading to critical shortages of essentials, with over 51,300 Palestinians reported dead since the conflict escalated after the October 7 Hamas attack. International calls for increased aid access have intensified, as mediation efforts by Qatar and Egypt seek a long-term truce, but significant obstacles remain regarding disarmament and hostage negotiations.
