Gaza death toll surges to 38,345, over 88,295 injured
The death toll in Gaza has risen dramatically, with 38,345 Palestinians confirmed dead and over 88,295 injured since the onset of the Israeli offensive on October 7, according to local health authorities.
In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli occupation forces have carried out two massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in at least 50 fatalities and 54 injuries, as reported by medical sources. The majority of the victims are women and children.
Ambulance and rescue teams are facing severe challenges in reaching many casualties and retrieving bodies trapped under rubble or scattered across roads due to ongoing obstructions by Israeli forces. The blockade has hampered the efforts of ambulance and civil defense crews, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn enclave. (ILKHA)
