23 killed in morning Israeli strikes on south Gaza"

GAZA: At least 112 Palestinians have been reported killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, with the death toll continuing to rise following a series of airstrikes on the region. Among those slain were at least 33 people, including mostly women and children, in three separate attacks on schools in Gaza City that were sheltering displaced Palestinians.

The strikes, which occurred early this morning in southern Gaza, have left widespread devastation. Reports indicate that the attacks targeted civilian areas, causing significant casualties and further intensifying the humanitarian crisis. The bombings have exacerbated an already dire situation, with many of the victims being families seeking refuge in the schools.

As violence continues to escalate, Israel has ordered additional forced expulsions from southern neighborhoods of Gaza City. These forced displacements are part of Israel’s ongoing military campaign, which began after the breakdown of a ceasefire agreement on March 18. The United Nations has estimated that approximately 280,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced since the ceasefire was broken, with many fleeing to already overcrowded shelters in safer areas.

In addition to the rising number of casualties, the strikes have also left vital infrastructure severely damaged, including hospitals and civilian homes, deepening the crisis in the region. The UN and various humanitarian organizations have expressed grave concern over the escalating violence, calling for immediate action to protect civilians and halt the ongoing attacks. While the international community continues to call for an end to the violence, the situation remains tense and volatile, with no immediate resolution in sight. As more families are displaced and the death toll climbs, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza grows more urgent, with the need for urgent aid and diplomatic intervention more critical than ever.
