Rising Casualties in Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict

Israeli air strikes claim more lives in Gaza as indirect ceasefire talks proceed with escalating humanitarian concerns.


Recent Israeli air strikes in southern Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 19 Palestinians, including eight children, raising international alarm over the humanitarian crisis. The strikes, aimed at Hamas fighters, coincide with fragile ceasefire negotiations in Qatar, while Gaza's health ministry appeals for urgent fuel for hospitals.


Israeli air strikes overnight in southern Gaza have reportedly killed at least 19 Palestinians, including eight children, as confirmed by local health officials. The strikes particularly targeted areas in Khan Younis and al-Mawasi, where a tent camp for displaced individuals was struck, resulting in the death of a mother and her four children. Another family in Khan Younis was also reportedly killed during these operations. The Israeli military stated that the target of these strikes was Hamas fighters involved in the deadly assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, that ignited the ongoing conflict.

In addition to southern Gaza, strikes have also occurred in central and northern regions, with a total of 51 casualties reported across Gaza over the past 24 hours, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Notably, bodies of six individuals, including that of a baby, were retrieved from two residential buildings in Gaza City following targeted attacks. Further violence was recorded in Deir al-Balah, where three individuals were killed, and another infant died in Bureij refugee camp, medical sources indicated.

Amid the violence, Gaza's health ministry has urgently requested fuel supplies to power hospital generators, highlighting a critical shortage that may soon jeopardize the care of hundreds of patients. Indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and potential hostage releases are ongoing in Qatar, with optimism expressed by Stephen Witkoff, the U.S. envoy to the Middle East. He suggested that meaningful progress has been made towards negotiating a resolution ahead of the upcoming presidential inauguration.

In contrast, tensions persist as both Hamas and Israel accuse each other of hindering the negotiation efforts. Israel's military campaign is a direct response to the October 7 attack that left approximately 1,200 people dead, alongside ongoing hostage situations involving over 100 individuals. The escalating violence has resulted in significant casualties, with more than 45,930 reported dead in Gaza as of the latest updates from health officials in the territory.
