The Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported a significant increase in the death toll as a result of Israeli military operations in the territory. The latest figures indicate that at least 34,654 individuals have lost their lives during the 211 days of conflict.
Over the past 24 hours alone, 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks, with an additional 41 people sustaining injuries. This brings the total number of wounded individuals in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the conflict to 77,908.
It is important to note that the Ministry of Health does not differentiate between civilian casualties and Hamas fighters in its reports. The lack of international media access to Gaza has made it challenging to independently verify the accuracy of these casualty figures.
Furthermore, according to The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the conflict has had a devastating impact on women in Gaza. The latest data reveals that over 10,000 women have been killed and 19,000 others have been injured as a result of the ongoing violence.
The escalating death toll and mounting casualties underscore the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in order to prevent further loss of life and suffering among the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
