Gaza endures 109 days of relentless israeli aggression: Casualties mount

Local sources report that israeli aircraft targeted the tents of displaced individuals in Al-Mawasi, causing multiple fatalities and leaving dozens wounded.

Victims were rushed to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after a car carrying displaced persons from Khan Yunis to the Central Governorate of Gaza was bombed on the coastal road. Furthermore, citizens lost their lives when the occupation aircraft targeted a house belonging to the Dahnoun family in Beit Lahia. Israeli occupation artillery also mercilessly bombed the vicinity of the Beach Camp in Gaza City.

Israeli warplanes extended their attacks to the eastern part of the Central Governorate. The aggression intensified with flares fired in the airspace of the central Gaza Strip and artillery shelling on agricultural land in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood.

Israeli boats relentlessly bombarded the coastal areas of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, worsening the already dire situation. Since the aggression began on October 7 last year, the number of martyrs has reached approximately 25,300, with 63,000 injured, mostly women and children. Thousands remain trapped under rubble and on inaccessible roads.

Elderly individuals with chronic diseases in Rafah's displacement camps suffer due to severe cold and a lack of medical assistance. Displaced from their homes in Gaza City and the north, they face unbearable conditions with insufficient basic necessities and proper living conditions.

This displaced population in Rafah lacks electricity, water, and adequate medical care. Contaminated water and limited aid exacerbate the suffering of the elderly, with hospitals and medical teams struggling to cope. Those with chronic diseases are unable to access necessary treatments due to Israeli aggression and besiegement.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health documented the martyrdom of 337 medical personnel and the destruction of 150 health institutions, collapsing the health system and infrastructure. About 350,000 patients with chronic diseases are now residing in shelters, facing immense pain.

The international community faces criticism for not establishing a safe humanitarian corridor for medical aid and evacuations from Israeli restrictions. Displaced individuals in Rafah, mourning the loss of their children and facing severe shortages, plead for better living conditions and swift reconstruction. Gaza residents endure over three months of oppression, urging support to defy challenges while awaiting home reconstruction. (ILKHA)
