Escalating Israeli Airstrikes and Evacuations Deepen Crisis in Gaza

Israel launched a second airstrike on the densely-populated Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza, causing further catastrophic damage and prompting warnings of war crimes. The strikes also targeted the vicinity of a hospital where thousands of displaced people are sheltering. The death toll has risen to at least 80, with hundreds more injured, and the majority of casualties being women and children. The United Nations Human Rights Office has stated that the attacks on the refugee camp could amount to war crimes. The airstrikes continue despite urgent calls for a ceasefire, and several countries have taken diplomatic measures in condemnation of Israel's actions. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with hospitals running out of service and fuel shortages.
