Genocide in Gaza: death toll nears 39,000, humanitarian access blocked

Local health authorities have confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught, which began on October 7, has risen to 38,983 reported fatalities. An additional 89,727 individuals have sustained injuries, with the majority of the victims being women and children.

Ambulance and rescue teams are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to obstruct the movement of ambulance and civil defense crews. (ILKHA)
