A mediator emphasized the urgency of negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza, with Hamas showing interest but Israel holding back as the military prepares for intensified attacks on densely populated areas.
The potential for increased hostilities in regions housing large civilian populations has been met with criticism both domestically and internationally. Palestinians, weary from conflict, feel unsafe even in declared humanitarian areas after nearly two years of strife.
The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, with hospitals overwhelmed as Israeli airstrikes persist, claiming more civilian lives. Foreign mediators remain engaged, aiming to advance peace discussions while humanitarian aid struggles to meet the colossal needs of the Gaza populace.
