Israeli Strikes Hit Gaza Refugee Camp as EU Expresses Appalled Reaction

Israeli airstrikes continue to target apartment buildings in a Gaza refugee camp, causing devastation and casualties, while Israeli ground forces advance towards Gaza City. The only functioning border post in Gaza has opened to allow foreign passport holders and some wounded individuals to leave, but the humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory worsens with a severe shortage of food, medicine, water, and fuel. The blackout of internet and phone services further hampers communication and access to essential services. The war has resulted in a high death toll on both sides, with over 8,500 Palestinians and over 1,400 Israelis killed. The conflict also threatens to escalate tensions in other regions, including Lebanon and Syria.
