The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has reported that the death toll from Israeli airstrikes has reached 40,534, with more than 93,778 people injured since October 7.
The ministry announced this tragic milestone today, highlighting the severe impact of the ongoing conflict.
According to the statement, the Israeli military has carried out four major massacres against families in Gaza, resulting in 58 fatalities and 131 injuries in the past 24 hours alone.
The situation remains dire, with many victims still trapped under rubble or stranded in areas that rescue teams cannot access.
The ongoing conflict, which began with a large-scale Israeli assault on Gaza in early October, continues to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the region.
This escalation has led to widespread destruction and a significant number of casualties, severely impacting civilian life.
International organizations and human rights groups have expressed growing concerns over the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
The United Nations and various non-governmental organizations are calling for an immediate ceasefire and increased efforts to deliver aid to those affected by the violence.
