Israeli occupation forces carried out three deadly massacres in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, killing at least 30 Palestinians and wounding 99 others, according to medical sources in Gaza.
Local health authorities have reported that the total death toll from Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 45,514, with 108,189 individuals injured, the majority of whom are women and children.
Emergency services have been unable to reach many of the victims, as Israeli forces continue to obstruct the movement of ambulances and civil defense teams. Bodies remain trapped under rubble or scattered across the streets of the war-ravaged territory, compounding the suffering of Gaza’s besieged population.
The ongoing assault persists despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Human rights organizations and international observers have condemned Israel's actions as genocidal, highlighting the devastating impact on civilians and the obstruction of life-saving aid. Calls for accountability and urgent intervention are growing louder as the death toll continues to climb and the humanitarian catastrophe worsens.
The Gaza Strip remains in a state of utter devastation, with essential infrastructure destroyed and emergency services overwhelmed. The international community is urging immediate action to end the violence and provide relief to the besieged enclave’s population. (ILKHA)
