Gaza Health Ministry reported a grim escalation in casualties within the Gaza Strip. According to their latest press release, the death toll has climbed to 32,705, with an additional 82 fatalities and 98 injuries recorded in the past 24 hours alone.
Since the eruption of hostilities between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023, a staggering total of 32,705 lives have been lost, with 75,190 individuals sustaining injuries during the conflict, as per the ministry’s data.
The confrontation originated from a significant Israeli offensive launched against Hamas in retaliation for a violent incursion by the latter into southern Israel on the aforementioned date.
During this incursion, Hamas forces reportedly caused the deaths of approximately 1,200 individuals, while over 250 were taken captive.
This recent surge in casualties underscores the relentless toll exacted by the prolonged conflict, deepening the humanitarian crisis in the region.
