Gaza death toll soars to 45,259 as Israeli forces conduct four more massacres
Over the past 24 hours, Israeli occupation forces have carried out four massacres in the Gaza Strip, targeting Palestinian families and resulting in at least 32 deaths and 54 injuries, according to local medical reports.
Health authorities in Gaza confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli onslaught since October 7, 2023, has now exceeded 45,259, with an additional 107,627 individuals reported injured. The majority of the victims are women and children, the authorities said.
Emergency services are struggling to reach the growing number of casualties, with many bodies still trapped under rubble or scattered on the roads due to ongoing airstrikes and ground operations. The situation has been further exacerbated by the Israeli military's obstruction of ambulance and civil defense crews, making it difficult for them to provide aid to those in need.
Despite mounting international pressure, including calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice to prevent further genocide and alleviate the humanitarian crisis, Israel's offensive shows no signs of relenting.
As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, humanitarian organizations are urging immediate action to address the catastrophic loss of life and provide critical aid to those affected by the conflict. (ILKHA)
