The number of people killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7th, 2023, has surged, with the majority of the victims being children and women.

Rescue efforts are severely hampered by the ongoing military operations, with thousands of victims believed to be still trapped under rubble or lying on Gaza's roads. The combination of continuous Israeli attacks, massive destruction, and a critical shortage of fuel and heavy machinery has significantly delayed medical and civil defense responses.

The situation remains dire, with local health services struggling to cope with the influx of casualties. The international community is urged to address the blockade and facilitate humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of Gaza's civilian population. (ILKHA)
