Deep dives
Resumption of Violence in Gaza
A new wave of intense airstrikes has begun across the Gaza Strip, marking the restart of hostilities in the Israel-Hamas conflict after a fragile ceasefire. The strikes have resulted in over 400 casualties, including many children, with hospitals overwhelmed by the influx of patients suffering severe injuries. The Israeli government claims these actions target Hamas leadership and military infrastructure, justifying the renewed military operations due to Hamas's refusal to extend the ceasefire. As the humanitarian situation deteriorates, calls for increased aid access are growing, particularly as Gaza faces a blockade that has halted assistance for weeks.
