Palestinians flee Israel

Amid escalating violence in Gaza, Hamas has urged international mediators to implement a truce plan proposed by President Biden, emphasizing the need for immediate action rather than further negotiations. The Israeli military has initiated a new offensive in Khan Younis, leading to mass evacuations as residents flee amid ongoing airstrikes and ground operations. The situation has resulted in severe humanitarian crises, with the death toll in Gaza nearing 40,000 since the conflict's onset. World leaders are advocating for renewed ceasefire talks, scheduled for August 15, as tensions rise following the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Despite Israel's acceptance of negotiations, past efforts to broker a ceasefire have largely failed. Civilians continue to suffer as they navigate the dangers of displacement and violence in their quest for safety.
