Local health authorities have confirmed that the Palestinian death toll since the Israeli assault began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 44,429. Over 105,250 people have been injured, with women and children comprising the majority of the victims.

Emergency services report being unable to access numerous casualties due to Israeli forces obstructing the movement of ambulances and civil defense crews. Many victims remain trapped under rubble or stranded in the streets as the bombardment continues.

The relentless assault persists despite international condemnation. The United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire, and the International Court of Justice has issued directives urging Israel to take measures to prevent genocide and address the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

Human rights organizations and global leaders continue to demand accountability, warning that the ongoing violence threatens to escalate the already dire situation in the region. (ILKHA)
