At least eight people were killed in an Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza. The attack also targeted various locations across Gaza, resulting in more casualties. The ongoing siege has made medical supplies scarce, leading to dire situations at hospitals.
Efforts for a ceasefire are underway with Egypt, Qatar, and the US working towards a deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with President-elect Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East to discuss potential solutions. Despite efforts, there are tough sticking points with both sides insisting on their terms for a ceasefire.
Palestinians in Gaza face severe food shortages in addition to the ongoing attacks. Despite UN demands, Israel continues to restrict supplies entering the Strip, leading to malnutrition and desperate attempts to feed families. The situation has been described as genocide by some advocates, with thousands of people killed since the war began.
As talks continue for a possible ceasefire, the situation in Gaza remains critical with families struggling to survive amidst the ongoing conflict. International pressure is mounting to end the violence and ensure the safety and well-being of civilians caught in the crossfire.
