Escalation in Gaza: Israeli Airstrikes Result in Civilian Casualties

In a tragic escalation of violence, at least 18 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Saturday, according to Palestinian medics. The strikes targeted various locations, including a former shelter housing displaced people and an aid warehouse, which the Israeli military claimed were being used by militants.  The airstrikes have intensified the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with casualties being transported to hospitals by foot, on rickshaws, and in private cars. The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has resulted in significant loss of life and widespread displacement. Efforts by international mediators to broker a ceasefire continue, but the situation remains volatile.  The international community has called for restraint and the protection of civilians, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Travel and social activities are under fantastic stars, so don’t sit at home slumped in front of the TV or bored in the office going through the same old routine, get out into the world and make fun things happen. Nothing is off limits to you now.
