Gaza death toll surges to 45,129 as Israeli strikes persist

In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli forces have carried out four deadly massacres targeting families, resulting in at least 32 fatalities and 94 injuries. Medical sources indicate that women and children make up the majority of the victims, highlighting the catastrophic toll on civilians.

Emergency services in Gaza face severe challenges in reaching casualties. Many victims remain trapped under rubble or stranded on roads as Israeli forces reportedly obstruct ambulance and civil defense crews. The destruction of critical infrastructure has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, leaving thousands without access to medical care, shelter, or basic necessities.

The relentless airstrikes and ground operations persist despite mounting international pressure. The United Nations Security Council has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire, while the International Court of Justice has urged Israel to prevent genocide and address the worsening humanitarian conditions.

Since the escalation of hostilities began on October 7, 2023, Gaza has endured unprecedented devastation. With tens of thousands dead and injured, the enclave is grappling with what humanitarian organizations describe as one of the worst crises in recent history.

As the situation deteriorates, calls for urgent international intervention grow louder, emphasizing the need to halt the violence and provide immediate relief to the war-stricken population of Gaza. (ILKHA)
