The escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip has reached extreme levels in recent weeks, with the conflict between Israel and Hamas claiming a high number of lives. According to the Israeli Army, at least 900 militants have been killed in the offensive in the city of Rafah, in the southern part of the Palestinian territory. Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, Chief of the Israeli General Staff, detailed that among the deceased are high-ranking commanders, which represents a significant blow to the Palestinian organization. The operation in Rafah, which has been ongoing for over a month, has been described by Halevi as a long and persistent task to dismantle Hamas' infrastructure in the area. Israel's objective is to completely dismantle the group's presence in the border city with Egypt, including the destruction of tunnels and operational bases used by the militants. This determination by the Israeli forces contrasts with the calls from the international community to halt the offensive in the interest of peace and the protection of civilians. The city of Rafah has become a scene of massive displacement and suffering for the civilian population, who have been forced to leave their homes in search of safe refuge. Faced with the arrival of Israeli tanks, many Gazans have had to seek shelter in areas considered "humanitarian" by Israel, such as Al Mawasi, which has also been targeted, or in neighborhoods of nearby towns. The humanitarian crisis worsens with the closure of the border crossing to Egypt, through which a large part of vital aid for the Palestinian population used to arrive. The impact of this military operation in the Gaza Strip is devastating, with thousands of Palestinians dead, injured, and missing under the rubble. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, nearly 38,000 people have lost their lives in the conflict, and more than 87,000 have been injured, with the majority being women and children. The humanitarian crisis worsens with each passing day, with hospitals overwhelmed and limited resources to assist the affected population. The violence in Gaza shows no signs of abating, with both sides showing unwavering determination in their actions. While Israel seeks to neutralize Hamas militants and dismantle their military structure in the region, the civilian population in Gaza continues to suffer the consequences of an endless conflict. The international community has urged an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to dialogue as the only way to achieve a peaceful and lasting solution in the region. Amidst this bleak panorama, calls for solidarity and the protection of human rights become increasingly urgent. The population of Gaza urgently needs humanitarian assistance, as well as guarantees of security and protection in order to rebuild their lives in an environment of peace and stability. The entire world watches with concern the situation in the Gaza Strip, urging all parties involved to prioritize the lives and well-being of people above any political or military interests.
