Israeli military airstrikes have continued to pound the northern Gaza region, resulting in the deaths of at least 29 people, with thousands more trapped in the war-torn area.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have pushed deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in their wake. The camp, which has been home to thousands of Palestinian refugees for decades, has been the site of intense fighting in recent days.
Witnesses describe the scene as "apocalyptic", with buildings reduced to rubble and the streets littered with the bodies of the dead and injured. The camp's residents, many of whom have been without access to basic necessities like food, water, and medical care for days, are growing increasingly desperate.
The IDF's incursion into the camp has been meet with fierce resistance from Palestinian militants, who have vowed to fight to the end to defend their homes and their people. The escalation in violence has raised fears of a wider conflict, with both sides digging in for what could be a long and bloody battle.
The international community has condemned the violence, with calls for restraint and a return to the negotiating table. But with both sides seemingly determined to pursue a military solution, the prospects for a peaceful resolution appear increasingly remote.
