At least 38,983 Palestinians have been killed and 89,727 others injured in Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The death toll continues to rise, with 64 people reported killed in the last 24 hours alone.
The violence in Gaza has sparked international outrage and calls for an immediate ceasefire to end the bloodshed. The high number of casualties, including many civilians, has raised concerns about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
Israel has defended its actions, saying it is targeting Hamas militants and their infrastructure in response to rocket attacks from Gaza. The Israeli government has accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields and storing weapons in residential areas, putting innocent lives at risk.
However, the disproportionate casualties and heavy toll on civilians in Gaza have led to widespread condemnation from the international community. The United Nations and various human rights groups have called for a halt to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The situation in Gaza remains volatile, with no clear end in sight to the violence and suffering. As the death toll climbs and the humanitarian crisis worsens, the need for a swift and peaceful resolution becomes more urgent than ever.
