In the last 72 hours, Israeli forces have killed at least 194 Palestinians across Gaza, with many casualties occurring in residential areas. Among the injured are children and babies, according to reports from the ground. The Israeli military stated it targeted over 100 Hamas sites during the same period.
Devastation and Loss
Adding to the devastation, there is continuous demolition of homes in Gaza City with no end in sight. A particularly egregious incident occurred at the Al-Nusraat refugee camp, where a school was struck by a drone missile, resulting in the deaths of four people, the majority of whom were children.
Healthcare System Collapsed
A Palestinian doctor reports that the healthcare system in Gaza is "totally" crippled, with many people dying due to the inability to receive adequate medical care. Recent bombings have exacerbated the already dire situation. The Palestine Red Crescent has warned that Gaza is facing an "extreme risk of famine."
Aid Blockage and Starvation
Amid the chaos, Israel is being accused of using aid blockage as a "weapon of war." Palestinians are struggling to feed their families as Israel has blocked food from Gaza for nearly 60 days. Israeli forces also struck a vehicle near Nuseirat refugee camp, resulting in at least eight fatalities.
Casualty Statistics
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli bombardment on Gaza has resulted in 52,567 deaths and 118,610 injuries, according to data collected by local authorities and aid organizations.
