Hey friends, Gaza City is under heavy fire as Israeli forces push deeper into the eastern suburbs, sending thousands of families on the run 💔. Shelling in areas like Sabra, Shejaia and Tuffah destroyed roads and homes, while families scramble for safer ground.
Up north in Jabalia, more neighborhoods are feeling the impact. Residents report overnight aerial and tank strikes, with the military saying its targeting weapons caches and underground tunnels used by militants. Despite protests and global calls for calm, Israel is preparing a fresh offensive in what it calls Hamas last bastion in Gaza City.
Health authorities say at least 34 people were killed around Gaza City overnight and on Tuesday, adding to the toll from a strike on Nasser Hospital in the south that killed at least 20among them journalists from Reuters, the Associated Press and Al Jazeera 😔.
Nearly half of Gazas two-million residents live in the city, and many have moved westward toward the coast or further south to areas like Al-Muwasi near Khan Younis. Families are sharing info over WhatsApp groups and social feeds, trying to stay one step ahead of the violence.
United Nations General Assembly President Philemon Yang slammed the hospital strikes, saying "The killing of innocent Palestinian civilians, of journalists and of medical personnel is unacceptable and must stop." Hes urging an immediate ceasefire and rapid, safe aid access to the besieged region.
As the conflict escalates, young people across South Asia and Southeast Asia are watching closely, sharing updates and calling for peace. Lets keep our eyes on Gaza and hope for an end to the violence soon 🌍🙏.
