Israel's Escalating Actions in Khan Younis Deepen Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis

Israel has ordered more evacuations in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza after the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire. Israel has expanded its ground assault into Khan Younis and reported progress in its campaign, claiming to have killed thousands of Hamas militants. The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza reported a death toll exceeding 17,700, with many more missing and presumed dead. Food and medical supplies are scarce, and there is effectively nowhere safe for residents to go. The US veto has been condemned as inhumane, and the Palestinian Authority accuses the US of being complicit in Israeli war crimes.
