Dozens Killed in Gaza Strikes
Hospitals in Gaza City report over 80 Palestinians killed in a wave of Israeli strikes on Wednesday, with women and children among the dead. A deadly strike near Firas market hit a building and tents sheltering displaced families, leaving rescuers pulling bodies from the rubble.
Israeli Military Response
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed targeting two Hamas fighters but disputed reports of mass civilian deaths. Tanks and troops have pushed deeper into Gaza City, described by Israel as Hamas’s final stronghold.
Collapsing Humanitarian Conditions
Hundreds of thousands have fled the city, but many remain trapped under bombardment. Essential services, including hospitals and oxygen stations, are collapsing. UN agencies warn of permanent displacement as families struggle to survive amid food shortages and destroyed homes.
Political and Diplomatic Moves
During the UN General Assembly, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff announced that President Donald Trump had introduced a 21-point peace plan for Gaza and the wider Middle East, though details remain unclear. Meanwhile, Israel insists its offensive is aimed at freeing hostages and defeating Hamas “decisively.”
Human Rights Concerns
The UN and rights groups have condemned the sharp rise in civilian deaths and the destruction of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, calling Israel’s tactics “designed to inflict terror” and warning of lasting displacement.
