"UN Raises Alarm as Gaza Death Toll Soars in Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The situation in Gaza is described as "increasingly desperate" by the UN, with Israel intensifying its military operations and increasing troop numbers in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Red Crescent reports threats from Israeli forces to bomb Al-Quds Hospital, while Israeli warplanes strike near Gaza's largest hospital. Communication is restored for many in Gaza after a blackout, and the Hamas health ministry announces a death toll of over 8,000. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns of a collapse of civil order after the looting of aid centers, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to bring back all hostages.
