Gaza Strikes Intensify Amid Humanitarian Crisis
Updated May 26,2025
Gaza City—Israeli forces struck the Gaza Strip on Monday,resulting in the deaths of more than 45 people,according to local health officials. Among the casualties, 33 died when a school serving as a shelter was hit. The strike ignited the residents’ belongings as they slept.
the Israeli army said the targeted building housed “leading terrorists” and functioned as a Hamas “command center.” A ministry emergency services head in Gaza said the building sustained three hits and caught fire while occupants where asleep. Online footage showed rescuers battling flames and recovering remains.
The renewed offensive in Gaza aims to “defeat Hamas,” following failed ceasefire attempts. The ongoing conflict and blockade have sparked international condemnation. the European Union is considering measures against Israel if it does not lift the Gaza blockade, which restricts access to essential resources like food, medicine, and clean water, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Spain’s foreign ministry has called for sanctions against those undermining the two-state solution. Over the weekend, reports emerged of Israeli strikes killing residents across Gaza. Mahmud Bassal, a Civil Defense Agency spokesman, said seven people died in Jabalia, northern Gaza, and two more in strikes on tents in central Gaza. One victim was a seven-month pregnant woman. Fatal strikes also occurred in Deir el-Balah, Beit Lahia, and Khan Yunis.
COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body managing civilian affairs, reported transferring about 107 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, the World Food Programme said this is insufficient, citing looting of aid trucks. Jake Wood, director of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), resigned, stating the mission could not adhere to “humanitarian principles.” The lack of aid entry into the besieged Gaza Strip has created a humanitarian crisis at unprecedented levels.
What’s next
International pressure is expected to mount on Israel to ease restrictions on aid entering Gaza and to de-escalate the offensive. Further diplomatic efforts are anticipated to revive ceasefire negotiations.
