Over 24,000 lives lost in 100 days of Israel-Hamas conflict

The Israel-Hamas conflict has entered its 100th day, resulting in a devastating death toll of over 24,000 in Gaza. The violence has triggered a severe humanitarian crisis, displacing 85% of the population and leaving essential services crippled.

Global organizations urgently call for increased humanitarian aid, highlighting the dire situation in Gaza. Hospitals, already strained, continue to be targeted, deepening the healthcare challenges. The conflict remains a pressing international concern, with calls for an immediate ceasefire and diplomatic resolutions.

"There's no food, no water, no heating. We are dying from the cold," said Mohammad Kahil, displaced from northern Gaza to Rafah, on the southern border with Egypt.The militants also seized about 250 hostages, 132 of whom Israel says remain in Gaza, including at least 25 believed to have been killed. Israel launched a relentless military campaign that has killed at least 24,100 people in Gaza.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said people in Gaza were "living in hell", echoing earlier UN warnings of a fast-approaching famine.In a joint statement on Sunday, the WHO, World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF said "a fundamental step change in the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza is urgently needed".
