Gaza death toll rises to 44,249 amid ongoing Israeli aggression
The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 44,249 as Israeli forces continue their genocidal aggression in the besieged territory.
Over the past 24 hours, three separate massacres have been reported, claiming the lives of at least 14 Palestinians and leaving 108 others injured, according to local medical reports.
Local health authorities revealed that the total number of injuries since the beginning of the conflict on October 7, 2023, has climbed to 104,746. The majority of those killed or injured are women and children, underscoring the severe toll on civilians in the densely populated enclave.
Emergency services face immense challenges in responding to the crisis, with many casualties and bodies trapped under rubble or lying in the streets. Ambulance and civil defense crews report being obstructed by Israeli forces, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Despite repeated 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 dire humanitarian conditions, Israel’s military campaign continues unabated.
The situation in Gaza has drawn widespread international condemnation, with human rights organizations warning of catastrophic consequences if urgent measures are not taken to halt the violence and provide humanitarian relief.
The ongoing aggression has devastated the Gaza Strip, leaving its infrastructure in ruins, medical systems overwhelmed, and countless families displaced, as calls for a resolution grow increasingly urgent. (ILKHA)
