"Unrelenting Israeli Attacks Push Gaza Death Toll Beyond 5,000"

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 5,000 as Israeli airstrikes continue in response to Hamas attacks. Humanitarian organizations are urgently calling for a ceasefire and increased aid convoys. The UN health agency has appealed for safe passage of medical essentials and fuel to keep health facilities operational. Women and children make up over 62% of the fatalities, with more than 15,273 people injured. Over 1,000 people are missing and presumed trapped or dead under rubble. In Israel, over 1,400 people have been killed, mostly in Hamas attacks. Aid convoys have entered Gaza, but at least 100 trucks per day are needed to meet the rising humanitarian needs. The UN agency for Palestine refugees warns of running out of fuel within three days, jeopardizing the humanitarian response. Over 625,000 children in Gaza have been deprived of education, and 206 schools have been damaged. In the occupied West Bank, access to education has also been restricted.
