Gaza death toll escalates to 36,731 with majority women and children amid Israeli attacks
Israeli occupation forces have committed eight massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, resulting in the deaths of at least 77 Palestinians and injuring 221 others, according to medical sources.
Local health authorities reported that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught, which began on October 7, has risen to 36,731. Additionally, 83,530 individuals have sustained injuries, with the majority of victims being women and children.
Ambulance and rescue teams continue to face significant challenges in reaching many casualties and retrieving dead bodies trapped under rubble or scattered on roads throughout the war-torn enclave. Israeli occupation forces are reportedly obstructing the movement of ambulance and civil defense teams, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The ongoing violence has led to severe restrictions on access to essential services, further endangering the lives of those in need of urgent medical assistance. The international community continues to call for immediate measures to protect civilians and ensure humanitarian aid can reach those affected by the conflict. (ILKHA)
