Israel's airstrike in Rafah stirs global condemnation and investigations amidst escalating tensions in Gaza. Read more about the deadly incident here!

Amidst escalating tensions, an Israeli air strike on a tent camp in Gaza's Rafah city has led to the tragic death of at least 45 people, sparking global outrage and condemnation. The United Nations agency described Gaza as 'hell on earth' following the deadly attack, calling for immediate action to address the humanitarian crisis. Palestinian Authority, Egypt, and Qatar have all denounced Israel's actions, accusing them of targeting civilians and violating international laws.

Israel now faces significant backlash from European and Arab nations, with calls for an immediate halt to attacks in southern Gaza. The strike, which also claimed the lives of two senior Hamas officials, has raised concerns about the escalating violence in the region. As investigations into the incident unfold, questions arise about the legitimacy and repercussions of Israel's military actions.

In a surprising turn of events, the Gaza conflict takes an unexpected twist as raw milk comes under scrutiny amidst the chaos. Reports of bird flu spreading among dairy cattle herds add a unique dimension to the ongoing crisis. Despite the devastation in Rafah, concerns about food safety and agricultural challenges emerge in the midst of the conflict. The deadly airstrike in Rafah marks a critical point in the Gaza war, highlighting the complex layers of the humanitarian crisis and the need for immediate international intervention.
