The situation in the besieged Gaza Strip has worsened as Israeli forces conducted more than 200 air raids overnight, causing widespread destruction and displacement of the Palestinian population. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the mass displacement has reached approximately 180,000 people in the past 24 hours, with the numbers expected to rise. Currently, 137,500 individuals are seeking shelter in 83 UNRWA schools, where bread is being distributed in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP).
In response to the escalating conflict, the Israeli air force has initiated an emergency airlift to bring back hundreds of Israelis residing in Europe to serve as military reservists. The Hercules planes of the Israeli air force have been deployed for this purpose, although specific details regarding the European locations of the reservists have not been disclosed.
