The Israeli army’s attacks on Gaza, both from the air and through troop deployments on the border, continue amid a backdrop of civilian suffering. On the Israeli side, there are efforts to boost troop morale, with music, dancing, and the distribution of prayer booklets to soldiers. Meanwhile, civilians in Gaza are enduring a growing tragedy, with daily casualties. In the most recent update from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, an additional 755 people lost their lives in the last 24 hours, bringing the total casualty count to 6,546, including 2,704 children.
The situation in Gaza is dire, marked by severe shortages of fuel, water, electricity, and food, causing hospitals to become non-operational due to fuel constraints.
