A deadly Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza has resulted in the reported deaths of 51 Palestinians, including women and children, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. While Reuters couldn't independently verify the report, it highlights the severity of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Meanwhile, the Palestine Red Crescent Society received 30 aid trucks that entered Gaza via the Rafah border crossing. The trucks carried essential supplies and were distributed to organizations such as the Red Cross and UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. This aid is desperately needed as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens.

US President Joe Biden has indicated that there are small signs of progress towards a potential ceasefire in the conflict. However, these efforts have had limited impact so far. The Biden administration continues to call for a pause in the violence, but the situation remains dire.

Hamas's armed wing has also stated that over 60 hostages are missing and that 23 Israeli hostage bodies are trapped under the rubble as a result of Israeli airstrikes. Although Reuters couldn't immediately verify these claims, they add to the mounting toll of this devastating war.

In response to the escalating violence, protesters have gathered outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence and in Tel Aviv, demanding a ceasefire and the immediate release of hostages.

Additionally, the international news agency Agence France-Presse has called for an "in-depth and transparent investigation" into the Israeli army's involvement in the strike on its Gaza City office. The agency's chairman and CEO expressed concern about the message sent to journalists working in the region.

The Israeli army's assault on Gaza has intensified, with reports of strikes on schools, hospitals, and mosques. The bombing of the al-Fakhoora school run by UNRWA resulted in at least 15 deaths and 54 injuries. Thousands of displaced individuals seeking refuge in the school have been affected by this attack.

The situation continues to escalate, with the health ministry reporting an estimated 2,200 people, including 1,250 children, buried under rubble in destroyed buildings in Gaza. In addition to the direct attacks on civilian infrastructure, Israeli forces have targeted power generators and solar panels, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The war between Israel and Hamas shows no signs of abating, and the civilian population in Gaza bears the brunt of the violence. As the situation worsens, calls for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian intervention grow louder.
