Here are the updates regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza as of April 23, 2025:
Israeli military operations persist in Gaza, with recent airstrikes hitting a school that had been converted into a shelter in Gaza City, resulting in a fire that claimed the lives of at least 10 individuals, including a child who tragically died in the flames.
The continuous bombardment follows a day of intense Israeli strikes that resulted in the deaths of at least 39 Palestinians, caused damage to the El Dorra Pediatric Hospital in Gaza City, and destroyed essential bulldozers used for rescue efforts throughout the region.
Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, has stated that Doha is actively engaging with mediators to facilitate a resolution to the conflict in Gaza.
Since the onset of the war 18 months ago, at least 51,266 Palestinians have been reported dead, with 116,991 others injured.
The Gaza Government Media Office has revised its death toll to over 61,700, indicating that many individuals are still unaccounted for under the debris and are presumed deceased. In Israel, at least 1,139 people lost their lives during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, with more than 200 individuals taken hostage.
