In the early hours of March 18, 2025, Israeli airstrikes hit multiple locations across Gaza, ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. The attacks resulted in over 400 casualties, mostly women and children, making it one of the deadliest days in recent months.
Thousands of Palestinians, many of whom had just returned home during the ceasefire, are now fleeing once again. Overcrowded shelters and makeshift camps are struggling to accommodate the displaced, while food, water, and medical supplies are running low due to the reinstated blockade.
Israel claims the airstrikes were a response to ceasefire violations by Hamas, while Palestinian officials argue the attacks disproportionately target civilians. International leaders have called for restraint, but efforts to de-escalate remain uncertain, raising fears of a prolonged conflict.
