The death toll from the Israeli occupation’s assault on the Gaza Strip has risen to 38,713, with 89,166 injured since the offensive began on October 7, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Citing Palestinian medical sources, WAFA reported that Israeli forces committed two massacres against families in Gaza over the past 24 hours, resulting in the deaths of 49 Palestinians and injuries to 69 others.
The agency also highlighted that thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense teams.
The conflict in Gaza has deep historical roots, marked by longstanding tensions and periodic escalations between Palestinian inhabitants and Israeli forces.
This recent surge in violence underscores the urgent humanitarian crisis in the region, exacerbated by widespread destruction of infrastructure and severe humanitarian suffering among civilians.
Thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble and on impassable roads, posing significant challenges for rescue and relief efforts by ambulance crews and civil defense teams.
The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, with calls for immediate ceasefire and humanitarian assistance intensifying.
The escalating casualties highlight the pressing need for international intervention to address the crisis and seek a path towards lasting peace and stability in Gaza.
