According to a recent statement by the United Nations, dozens of Israeli air strikes on Gaza following the collapse of the ceasefire last month have tragically resulted in the deaths of only women and children. The UN’s alarming report highlights the devastating toll of the renewed violence on the most vulnerable civilians.

In one of the most heartbreaking incidents, an Israeli attack on southern Gaza on Friday claimed the lives of an entire family of ten, sparking global outrage and urgent calls for humanitarian intervention. The family, reportedly seeking shelter in what they believed was a safe area, became yet another victim in a conflict that continues to show no mercy to innocent lives.
This recent wave of strikes further intensifies the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where overcrowded shelters, dwindling medical supplies, and limited access to aid have left the population in desperate need.
As the international community grapples with finding a path to peace, the stories of families like these serve as a tragic reminder of the human cost of war. For a deeper understanding of the ongoing crisis, read our full report:
A UN rights office report also warned that expanding Israeli evacuation orders were resulting in the “forcible transfer” of people into ever-shrinking areas, raising “real concern as to the future viability of Palestinians as a group in Gaza”.
Israel’s military said it was looking into the attack that killed members of the same family in Khan Yunis, adding separately that it hit around 40 “terror targets” across the territory over the previous day.
Israel resumed its Gaza strikes on March 18, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. Since then, more than 1,500 people have been killed, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory to which Israel cut off aid more than a month ago.
