Escalating Gaza Strikes Leave Hundreds Dead as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
July 14, 2025 — Gaza Strip
The death toll in Gaza continues to rise as Israeli airstrikes pound the densely populated enclave for a tenth consecutive day. The latest wave of bombings has killed over 300 people in just the past 48 hours, according to Gaza’s health ministry, bringing the total number of Palestinian casualties to more than 2,500 since the conflict reignited last month.
Hospitals are on the brink of collapse, with medical staff overwhelmed and supplies critically low. Rescue teams are struggling to reach those trapped under rubble as air raids hit residential areas, schools, and refugee camps.
The Israeli military has stated the ongoing strikes are aimed at dismantling Hamas’ infrastructure, targeting rocket launch sites, tunnels, and command centres. However, the destruction has been widespread, and civilians — including women and children — make up a significant portion of the dead and injured.
In a statement, the United Nations condemned the “indiscriminate bombardment” and warned of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. “Basic human necessities like water, electricity, and food are becoming scarce, and the situation is becoming unbearable for the 2.3 million residents of Gaza,” said UN humanitarian coordinator Martin Griffiths.
In Israel, officials report continued rocket fire from Gaza, with sirens sounding across southern towns. The government has maintained that military operations will continue until Hamas is “completely neutralized.”
International calls for a ceasefire have intensified. Protesters in cities across the world — including London, Paris, New York, and Johannesburg — have taken to the streets demanding an end to the violence. British Foreign Secretary Elise Grant called for “an immediate cessation of hostilities” and urged both sides to return to the negotiating table.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian corridor proposed by Egypt and Qatar remains stalled, with limited aid trucks allowed to cross into Gaza. Relief agencies are warning of a looming famine and a potential cholera outbreak as sanitation systems fail.
With no sign of a ceasefire, the people of Gaza are left bracing for more destruction. Entire neighbourhoods have been levelled, and displaced families are now crammed into overcrowded shelters — many without electricity or clean water.
“This is no longer just a conflict,” said one aid worker on the ground. “It is a full-blown humanitarian disaster, and the world must act now.”
