Death toll in Gaza climbs to 34,568 since October 7, medical sources report
Medical sources have reported that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 34,568 Palestinians since the beginning of the Israeli offensive on October 7.
According to these sources, the number of fatalities caused by the occupation forces has risen to 34,568, with 77,765 individuals injured during the same period.
In the past 24 hours alone, the occupation forces have been responsible for four massacres targeting families in the Strip, resulting in the deaths of 33 people and injuries to 57 others.
Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the fate of at least 7,000 individuals who remain unaccounted for, presumed to be deceased under the rubble of their destroyed homes across the Gaza Strip.
Both Palestinian and international organizations assert that a significant majority of those killed and wounded are women and children, highlighting the devastating impact of the Israeli aggression on civilian populations.
The ongoing conflict has also forced nearly two million people from various parts of the Gaza Strip to flee their homes, with many seeking refuge in the densely populated southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt. This mass displacement represents the largest exodus in Palestine since the 1948 Nakba. (ILKHA)
