A Grim Milestone Amidst Unrelenting Violence
GAZA: In a tragic update from the war-torn region, the Palestinian death toll has now surpassed a staggering 37,000 since the commencement of the Israeli onslaught on October 7. This harrowing figure, reported by the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), underscores the relentless brutality and humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
Women and Children Among the Majority of Victims
According to local health authorities, an additional 84,494 individuals have sustained injuries, with women and children comprising the majority of the victims. The toll on innocent civilians, particularly the most vulnerable members of society, paints a devastating picture of the toll exacted by the ongoing conflict.
WAFA’s latest report reveals that within the past 24 hours alone, the Israeli occupation forces have perpetrated eight massacres against families in the Gaza Strip. These heinous acts have resulted in the documented killing of at least 283 Palestinians, while 814 others have been left injured and traumatized.
Despite the valiant efforts of ambulance and rescue teams, many casualties and deceased individuals remain inaccessible. Trapped under rubble or strewn across roads amidst the chaos of conflict, their plight is exacerbated by the obstacles imposed by Israeli occupation forces.
Amidst mounting international calls for peace and humanitarian intervention, the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with each passing day marking an alarming escalation in loss of life and human suffering.
