The Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported a significant increase in casualties due to Israeli military operations in the region. Over the past 24 hours, at least 71 people have been killed, with another 112 individuals sustaining injuries.
The ministry's latest update on Sunday did not provide a breakdown of civilian versus Hamas casualties. However, it previously stated that approximately 70% of the casualties in the conflict have been women and children, highlighting the impact on non-combatant populations.
Since October 7, the cumulative toll from Israeli military actions in Gaza has reached alarming numbers, with at least 40,405 individuals reported killed and 93,468 injured. These figures underscore the devastating consequences of the ongoing conflict in the region.
The situation in Gaza remains volatile, with continued violence leading to a growing humanitarian crisis. International efforts to de-escalate tensions and protect civilian lives are urgently needed to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of those affected by the conflict.
