Israel implements daily tactical halts in the southern region of Gaza
After discussions with the United Nations and various other entities, a decision was reached.
The humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian region is dire, as numerous warnings about a scarcity of food and essential items have been issued for months. Thousands of individuals are struggling to access clean water and sufficient food, while numerous children are afflicted by severe malnutrition.
The conflict in Gaza commenced due to a large-scale assault by Hamas on Israel on October 7, resulting in reports of 1194 deaths and 251 hostages being taken in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli sources.
Since then, Israel has escalated military operations within the Gaza Strip. As per the Hamas-controlled health ministry's claims, which cannot be independently confirmed, over 37,290 people have lost their lives since the start of the conflict.
