Gaza death toll reaches 39,445 amid intensifying Israeli airstrikes

In the last 24 hours alone, at least 45 Palestinians were killed and 77 others were injured due to intense Israeli bombardments. The ongoing conflict, which began on October 7, has resulted in a high number of casualties, predominantly among women and children.

Medical officials report that emergency services are struggling to reach many of the wounded and deceased. Numerous bodies remain trapped under rubble or scattered on roads due to the Israeli occupation forces' obstruction of ambulance and civil defense crews' movements.

Efforts to assist the injured and recover bodies are being severely hampered by the ongoing blockade, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the already devastated Gaza Strip. (ILKHA)
