At least 51 Palestinians were killed and 115 others wounded in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, as Israel’s ongoing genocidal assault on the besieged territory shows no signs of relenting, medical sources reported on Monday.

According to local health authorities, the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught, which began in October 2023, has now climbed to 52,243, with another 117,639 individuals wounded. Women and children continue to make up the overwhelming majority of the victims.

Since Israel resumed its large-scale offensive on March 18 following a two-month truce, the death toll has risen by at least 1,783, with 4,683 additional injuries reported, the authorities said.

Emergency teams are struggling to reach many victims trapped beneath the rubble of flattened homes or lying on the streets, as Israeli occupation forces persist in targeting ambulance crews and civil defense workers, further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe.

Despite repeated calls by the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and legally binding orders by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to prevent genocide and ease the desperate humanitarian situation, Israel’s assault on Gaza continues unchecked.

International rights groups have warned that the situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating into one of the gravest humanitarian crises in modern history, with entire neighborhoods obliterated, medical services crippled, and a population facing starvation, disease, and relentless bombardment.

The Palestinian people, trapped under siege, continue to call on the global community to act decisively to end the bloodshed and hold Israeli leaders accountable for crimes against humanity. (ILKHA)
