"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 20,000"

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 20,000 as Israel expands its ground offensive against Hamas, displacing nearly 85% of Gaza's population and leaving over half a million people starving. Despite calls for an immediate ceasefire and aid deliveries, the U.N. Security Council vote has been delayed, with the U.S. pushing for "creating the conditions" for a ceasefire instead. Israel vows to continue the war until Hamas is removed from power and all hostages are freed. The conflict has caused massive destruction, with only a fraction of Gaza's health facilities still functioning, leading to a collapse of the health sector.
