The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza published its daily statistical report on the number of martyrs and injuries resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression, now in its 366th day on the sector.
In a statement released on its official Telegram channel on Sunday morning, the ministry stated, “The Israeli occupation committed three massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 45 martyrs and 256 injuries reaching hospitals in the past 24 hours.”
The statement noted an increase in the toll of those reaching hospitals; due to the occupation’s targeting of displaced persons at Ibn Rushd School and the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the central governorate, earlier today, to 26 martyrs and dozens of injuries.
The ministry also announced that the toll from the Israeli aggression since October 7th of last year has risen to 41,870 martyrs and 97,166 injuries.
It was reiterated that a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense teams.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with extensive damage to infrastructure, severe restrictions on access to essentials like food, water, and medical aid, and a high number of civilian casualties. The ongoing conflict has exacerbated the already critical humanitarian conditions, leading to widespread suffering among the population.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) has reported significant damage to educational facilities, with a large percentage of schools in Gaza being hit or damaged, requiring major rehabilitation or full reconstruction. This damage affects the educational prospects of hundreds of thousands of students.
The Council on Foreign Relations highlighted the immense human suffering resulting from the conflict, noting that Israel’s military operations have led to tens of thousands of casualties. Additionally, the siege has severely limited access to electricity, water, and essential supplies, plunging over 90% of Gaza’s population into crisis levels of food insecurity.
