Gaza conflict intensifies as Israel blocks polio vaccination efforts

Airstrikes and ongoing violence kill at least 21, while Israel's refusal to allow medical teams into southern Gaza worsens the humanitarian crisis

Newsroom

In the latest escalation of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, tensions have intensified with significant new developments. As the conflict continues, reports emerge of mounting casualties and humanitarian challenges. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating violence and obstructing efforts for a ceasefire.

Here are the latest developments in the Israeli-Hamas conflict:

Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that Israeli forces are blocking medical teams from entering certain areas in southern Gaza as part of an emergency polio vaccination campaign. This development comes amid ongoing conflict, with Israeli airstrikes across Gaza killing at least 21 people. One of the attacks targeted the area near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, resulting in significant casualties.

Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately undermining ceasefire negotiations to extend the military campaign against Palestinians. The group claims that Israel's actions are a calculated effort to continue its aggression.

Since August 28, at least 39 people have been killed in the occupied West Bank following a large-scale incursion by Israeli forces. The violence in the West Bank intensified with Israeli troops storming the Tulkarem refugee camp, destroying a house in the al-Madares neighborhood before briefly withdrawing.

The ongoing conflict has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence. The situation remains tense, with no immediate signs of de-escalation or resolution.
