Israeli Strikes Kill 53 in Gaza City
Israeli airstrikes on 14 September 2025 left 53 Palestinians dead in Gaza City, according to medical officials. The bombardment destroyed 16 buildings, including three residential towers. At least 35 of the casualties were reported in the city itself.
Widespread Destruction
The strikes levelled multiple multi-storey residential towers and damaged surrounding structures. Families were forced to evacuate with little notice, leaving many without homes or possessions.
Famine Adds to Crisis
The bombings come as Gaza faces worsening famine conditions. Shortages of food, medicine, and clean water are growing, with aid supplies disrupted by the ongoing conflict. Health officials have warned that the humanitarian toll is rising each day.
Global Reaction
Humanitarian groups and international observers condemned the attacks, saying they further endanger civilians. Calls for a ceasefire and urgent humanitarian aid have increased. Israel defended the strikes as targeting sites allegedly used by militants.
