The brutal Israeli occupation has once again intensified its genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip, with hospitals reporting the arrival of the bodies of at least 134 martyrs and 1,155 injured civilians in the past 24 hours alone, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza.

This latest surge in casualties follows a relentless campaign of aerial bombardment and artillery shelling by Israeli forces, deliberately targeting densely populated civilian areas in clear defiance of international humanitarian law.

According to health officials, the number of Palestinians killed since March 18, 2025 — the day the occupation resumed its all-out assault on Gaza — has now climbed to 8,196 martyrs, with an additional 30,094 wounded.

The total death toll from the genocidal Israeli aggression, which began on October 7, 2023, has tragically reached 59,029, including 1,021 civilians who were seeking desperately needed humanitarian aid at or near US-backed food distribution points — attacks widely condemned as war crimes.

The number of wounded Palestinians since the beginning of the war now stands at a staggering 142,135, with 6,511 of them being aid seekers targeted while attempting to receive food, water, and medical supplies — further exposing the systematic starvation campaign imposed on Gaza by the Israeli regime with the backing of Western powers.

In addition to the confirmed casualties, the Health Ministry has warned that countless bodies remain trapped under the rubble of homes, mosques, schools, and UN shelters, as rescue teams face enormous challenges due to the total blockade, fuel shortages, and continued Israeli bombardment.

Eyewitnesses and rescue crews report entire families buried alive, with children's lifeless bodies pulled from the ruins in horrifying scenes that have become all too common across Gaza. Meanwhile, hospitals—already decimated by Israel’s systematic targeting—struggle to operate under siege, lacking even the most basic medical supplies.

Despite overwhelming international appeals for an immediate ceasefire, the Israeli occupation, emboldened by U.S. and European complicity, continues to massacre the Palestinian population with impunity.

Human rights organizations have reiterated calls for urgent international intervention, warning that the scale of suffering in Gaza constitutes a deliberate act of genocide, and that the silence and inaction of world powers will be remembered as a dark stain on modern history.

As Palestinians in Gaza endure their 10th consecutive month of unimaginable horror, their calls for justice, dignity, and liberation grow louder. Yet, for every child martyred, for every mother grieving, and for every home reduced to dust, the Palestinian spirit of resistance remains unbroken. (ILKHA)
