The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached a staggering 46,788 as Israeli airstrikes continue to ravage the densely populated enclave.

On Thursday, at least 73 Palestinians were killed and numerous others injured in targeted strikes across several areas, according to local health authorities.

Medical sources reported that Israeli forces committed eight massacres against families within a 24-hour period, resulting in the deaths of 81 Palestinians and injuries to 118 others. The majority of the casualties are women and children, with local hospitals overwhelmed by the scale of injuries sustained during the ongoing bombardments.

Emergency services have struggled to respond to the mounting crisis, with many casualties and deceased individuals trapped under rubble or lying on roads. Israeli forces have reportedly obstructed the movement of ambulances and civil defense crews, compounding the humanitarian disaster. (ILKHA)
