“My father … just cares for the sick, treats them and comforts them throughout the war. We are hungry. We are scared. We have lost people.” — Lubna al-Sultan

Widespread Civilian Toll

The recent escalation has led to severe casualties across Gaza, with many strikes hitting residential buildings and locations sheltering displaced civilians. According to a UN report via Reuters, more than 600 Palestinians have died at or near humanitarian aid distribution sites since late May.

The U.S. has approved a $510 million sale of bomb-guidance kits to Israel, aimed at enhancing targeting capabilities. Critics warn this could increase precision strikes in densely populated areas.

Medical Community in Mourning

The Washington Post confirmed that Dr. al-Sultan was among the few senior doctors remaining in northern Gaza, refusing to abandon patients despite imminent risk.
