Death Toll Surges in Gaza as Conflict Enters Eleventh Day
As the conflict between Israel and Palestine enters its eleventh day, more than one million residents of Gaza have fled their homes in search of safety. The death toll has risen sharply, with over 4,100 people reported killed on both sides since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7.
In Gaza, hospitals and schools have become makeshift shelters for countless families. The besieged enclave faces a severe humanitarian crisis as supplies of food and water dwindle. The relentless exchange of fire has made this the deadliest of the five Gaza wars experienced by both Israelis and Palestinians.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Gaza’s infrastructure is under immense strain as the influx of displaced people overwhelms available resources. “We have nowhere else to go,” said a resident seeking refuge in a hospital. The lack of electricity, clean water, and medical supplies compounds the dire situation.
International aid organizations are calling for immediate action to address the mounting humanitarian needs. However, access to the region remains limited due to ongoing military operations.
Calls for De-escalation
Global leaders and organizations are urging both sides to exercise restraint. The United Nations has warned of an impending catastrophe if the conflict continues unabated. Diplomats are working tirelessly to broker a ceasefire, but tensions remain high.
