The ongoing airstrikes and bombardments have further escalated the death toll, bringing the total number of fatalities in Gaza since October 7, 2023, to 43,846, with over 103,740 individuals reported injured. The majority of the victims are women and children, highlighting the disproportionate impact on civilians in the conflict.

Emergency services are struggling to reach many of the casualties, with numerous bodies trapped under rubble or left scattered across roads in the war-torn region. The movement of ambulance and civil defense crews continues to be obstructed by Israeli forces, further complicating rescue and recovery efforts.

Despite growing international pressure, including calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice to prevent genocide and address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel’s military actions show no signs of abating. The situation remains dire as civilian infrastructure and basic services continue to be destroyed. (ILKHA)
