The United Nations renewed its call for a ceasefire in Gaza as Israeli airstrikes demolished homes and casualties increased.

“In Deir al-Balah and across Gaza, people search through the rubble of their destroyed homes, trying to salvage what little remains after an Israeli airstrike,” the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees said in a post on X.

“As strikes continue, civilian casualties rise, and homes and vital infrastructure are reduced to ruins. The human cost of this war is unbearable. We need a ceasefire now.”
