The Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip has continued for 20 days, with Hamas launching a surprise attack on Israel, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians. Israel retaliated with relentless bombardments, resulting in over 7,000 Palestinian deaths, many of them children. The Israeli military conducted a targeted raid in Gaza and retaliatory strikes in Lebanon. The United Nations warned that nowhere is safe in Gaza, expressing concerns about a potential ground offensive. Israel has cut off supplies to Gaza, leading to shortages in aid and medical supplies. The UN Security Council failed to take action, and EU leaders are divided on calling for humanitarian pauses in the war.
