Israel continues its near-daily bombardment of Gaza, with devastating consequences for civilians. Amani Kharoub, a grieving mother, recounts how her son was killed by shrapnel while sleeping in a tent during an Israeli strike. She insists her family has no ties to militant groups.

Meanwhile, Israeli ground forces have entered Deir al-Balah for the first time in the 21-month war, targeting what they say are strongholds of the Hamas militant group and possible hostage locations. This city had been a refuge for many displaced Gazans and a hub for aid agencies. However, following evacuation orders, tens of thousands have fled once again.

Maysara Abu Alyan, another resident, expresses despair over the ongoing violence and the lack of international intervention. A group of 25 countries has condemned Israel’s actions, particularly the killing of civilians seeking aid, but Germany was not among them. The UNreports over 800 deaths of aid seekers since May, while Israel dismisses the criticism as out of touch with reality.
