The death toll in the Gaza Strip has surged to 44,466, with over 105,358 people injured, as Israeli airstrikes and ground operations persist, according to local health authorities.

In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli forces reportedly committed four massacres targeting families in Gaza, killing at least 37 Palestinians and injuring 108 others. Medical officials noted that the majority of the victims are women and children.

Emergency responders face immense challenges in reaching survivors and recovering bodies from beneath the rubble due to Israeli restrictions on ambulance and civil defense movement. Many casualties remain inaccessible, raising concerns about the actual death toll being significantly higher.

The onslaught continues despite international appeals for an immediate ceasefire. The United Nations Security Council and the International Court of Justice have called for urgent measures to prevent further genocide and address the escalating humanitarian crisis.

Humanitarian organizations warn that Gaza’s already dire situation is worsening, with access to essential medical aid and rescue efforts severely impeded. The region faces a mounting humanitarian catastrophe as infrastructure crumbles under sustained attacks.

Efforts by global actors to mediate a ceasefire have yet to yield tangible results, leaving Gaza in a state of unparalleled devastation. (ILKHA)
