The violence in Gaza has escalated, with Palestinians being displaced multiple times due to IDF evacuation orders that are changing rapidly. The lack of safe zones in the region has led to casualties, including women and children being killed during attacks. Congested safe zones are witnessing the spread of diseases such as hepatitis C and polio, putting hundreds of thousands of children at risk. President Biden has called for a cease-fire and hostage release deal, with negotiators seeking an agreement in Cairo despite ongoing fighting over the Lebanese-Israeli border. Cease-fire negotiations were already struggling before the latest round of strikes, with concerns that regional escalation could hinder progress. Israel’s assault on Gaza has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, with health officials reporting civilian casualties. The offensive was in response to a previous Hamas attack that resulted in many deaths and hostages taken. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with civilians facing displacement, disease, and ongoing violence.
