Hamas has formally presented a ceasefire proposal to Israeli officials, as the humanitarian situation in Gaza reaches critical levels, with reports of severe starvation and deprivation among civilians.
The move comes amid escalating international pressure to halt hostilities and address the growing crisis in the besieged Palestinian territory. According to sources, the proposal outlines terms for a temporary truce, though details remain undisclosed.
Humanitarian Catastrophe Deepens
Gaza faces an unprecedented humanitarian emergency, with food shortages, collapsed medical infrastructure, and desperate civilians struggling to survive. Aid agencies warn that without immediate intervention, famine-like conditions could spread further.
"The situation is beyond dire," said one UN official. "Children are dying from malnutrition, and hospitals lack even basic supplies."
International Reactions
The international community has urged both sides to consider the ceasefire offer, with several nations calling for an immediate pause in fighting to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel has yet to issue an official response, though analysts suggest the government may weigh the proposal against its military objectives.
What Happens Next?
If Israel accepts the terms, it could mark a turning point in the conflict. However, previous ceasefire attempts have collapsed, leaving many skeptical of a lasting resolution.
The coming days will be crucial in determining whether this latest effort can bring relief to Gaza’s suffering population.
