<p><strong>Israel-Hamas War Live:</strong> Hello and welcome to the live blog on the Israel-Hamas War. Follow this space for all the live and latest updates.</p> <p>The Israel-Hamas conflict has been on for the last 25 days bringing destruction to the region with terrifying pictures coming forth from the Hamas-controlled enclave. Israel launched a counter-offensive in the Gaza Strip after Hamas' October 7 surprise attack. Massive explosions tore through a densely populated Palestinian refugee camp on Tuesday, leaving two large craters in the area, news agency AFP reported. Rescue teams scrambled to navigate through the debris, concrete blocks, and twisted metal in search of survivors and bodies. Disturbing footage from AFP showed the recovery of at least 47 lifeless bodies.</p> <p>According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, 8,525 people have been killed since 7 October, including 3,542 children and 2,197 women, and 21,543 injured. This is in addition to the 2,000 reported missing, presumably under the rubble of destroyed buildings, including 1,100 children. It is estimated that 1.4 million people are currently displaced in the Gaza Strip. In addition to those currently in UNRWA shelters, many others have sought refuge with host families, or in hospitals, government schools and other public facilities.</p> <p>People are trying to flee the war-torn Gaza in an attempt to save their lives. Around 7,500 foreign passport holders would leave Gaza over about two weeks. The Gaza Borders and Crossings Authority earlier published a list of more than 500 foreigners and dual citizenship holders, calling them to head towards the crossing in order to leave Gaza.</p> <p>On Thursday, loud explosions were heard around the al-Quds hospital in Gaza City, the Palestinian Red Crescent said, Reuters reported.</p> <p>Israeli authorities have warned the hospital to evacuate immediately. U.N. officials have said that evacuation is impossible without endangering the lives of patients.</p> <p>Scores of people and cars moved through the gates as Gaza suffered a "complete interruption of all communications and internet services&rdquo; for the second time, reported Al Jazeera.</p>
