Israel has intensified its military offensive in Gaza, making daily life nearly impossible for residents. Most of Gaza is now under Israeli control, and the focus has shifted to capturing Gaza City, home to about a million people. The ongoing attacks have destroyed homes, schools, and hospitals, leaving civilians with little access to food or medicine, and causing widespread suffering among children.

Israeli leadership, supported by the United States, is determined to prevent the establishment of a separate Palestinian state. New housing developments in the West Bank are further dividing Palestinian territories, complicating any future prospects for statehood.

Despite a peace proposal from Hamas that included the release of hostages, Israel has continued its military campaign. While the United States backs Israel, other countries and Arab leaders have limited their response to statements, offering little concrete support to those affected in Gaza.
