The manager of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza described the situation in the facility as an “extreme catastrophe,” with reportedly Israeli forces opening fire on the building while children and elderly patients in need of urgent medical care suffer from malnutrition.
From Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas would not continue ruling the enclave, offering a reward of 5 million dollars in exchange for the return of Israeli captives held in the territory.
The situation worsened when Israeli forces killed three Lebanese soldiers in southern Lebanon. The UN peacekeeping mission in the area, UNIFIL, reported that four Ghanaian peacekeepers had been injured in a rocket probably fired by “non-state actors.
The war has caused an immense number of casualties. Since the beginning of the fighting on October 7, 2023, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel’s actions in Gaza reached at least 43,972 people, while over 104,000 injuries were sustained. That day was a point of grave escalation: 1,139 people were killed in Israel because of the Hamas-led attacks, and more than 200 people were taken captive.
In Lebanon, the number of victims from the Israeli bombardments is at least 3,544 dead and 15,036 wounded since the very beginning of the conflict. The humanitarian situation in the country continues to worsen day after day, with persistent violence.
