Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have led to the deaths of at least 40 people within 24 hours, amid an escalation of military operations. The death toll since the conflict resumed on March 18 has reached 52,418, with aid officials warning of an impending humanitarian catastrophe. The conflict began with a surprise attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, leading to significant Israeli casualties. The International Committee of the Red Cross has highlighted the urgent need for a ceasefire to prevent further disaster, as negotiations for hostages remain stalled.
An overnight attack on the Khan Younis refugee camp killed at least 11 people including three babies up to a year old, the officials said.
The war was triggered by a surprise attack launched by Hamas into Israel on 7 October 2023, killing more than 1,200 people on the Israeli side.
