Israel launched new airstrikes on Rafah on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, killing nearly 100 people, according to Hamas. An American special envoy is expected in Israel this Thursday to try to relaunch discussions between the different protagonists.
Since October 7 and the Hamas attack on Israel, the Israeli response, both air and land, has caused a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Nearly 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, says Hamas. The United Nations has warned that 2.2 million people are at risk of famine.
