"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Deadly Strikes and Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza"

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 30,000 as Israel's war with Hamas continues, with ongoing hostage negotiations and concerns of a potential Israeli incursion into Lebanon. The United States is considering airdropping aid into Gaza as the humanitarian crisis worsens, while New Zealand designates all of Hamas as a "terrorist entity." International correspondents are calling for "free and unfettered" access to Gaza for comprehensive reporting, and Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza have killed at least 20 people.
