Ever since the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, the current conflict in Gaza has seen more than 10,000 Palestinians reported killed in the past 38 days of relentless Israeli assault in Gaza. Despite repeated calls for a ceasefire - or in some cases a humanitarian pause - the attacks in Gaza have not ceased, and have even intensified.
