Israeli warplanes launched intense airstrikes on the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, killing dozens of civilians, including entire families, and wounding many more. Medical teams on the ground are overwhelmed amid severe shortages of equipment and staff.

Why it matters:

Videos received from yesterday's Israel strikes show that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse every day. Relentless military operations are compounded by a collapsing healthcare infrastructure, leaving civilians extremely vulnerable.

 

The big picture:

The ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza continues to exact a devastating humanitarian price. As military actions escalate, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and medical facilities exacerbates suffering and hampers urgent aid efforts, fueling international concerns about a deepening crisis.

 

Key points:

  • Residential buildings in Al-Tuffah were heavily bombed, resulting in mass civilian casualties.
  • Hospitals report critical shortages in medical supplies and personnel.
  • Medical teams struggle to cope with the overwhelming number of wounded.
  • A woman was seen rescuing the remains of her father and brother from the rubble by hand, illustrating the human toll.
