The death toll in the Israel-Gaza conflict has surpassed 8,000, with most of the casualties being women and minors. Israel has launched a ground offensive and conducted airstrikes, while Hamas continues to fire rockets. Communication has been restored to much of Gaza after a period of intense bombardment.

said Sunday, in a mark of growing desperation and the breakdown of public order three weeks into the war between Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.

What is the Gaza Strip? What you need to know about the territory at the heart of the Israel-Hamas war Juliette Touma, a spokesperson for the agency, said the crowds broke into four facilities on Saturday. She said the warehouses did not contain any fuel, which has been in critically short supply since Israel cut off all shipments after the start of the war.

The Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service said another Gaza City hospital received two calls from Israeli authorities on Sunday ordering it to evacuate. It said airstrikes have hit as close as 50 meters from the Al-Quds Hospital, where 12,000 people are sheltering. The escalation has ratcheted up domestic pressure on Israel's government to secure the release of some 230 hostages seized when Hamas fighters from Gaza breached Israel's defenses and stormed into nearby towns, gunning down civilians and soldiers in a surprise attack.

“This is the second stage of the war, whose objectives are clear: to destroy the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas and bring the hostages home,” he said in a televised address.
