The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported that the number of fatalities due to the ongoing Israeli attacks has reached 37,925. This grim milestone highlights the severe human cost of the conflict in the region.
In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli army operations have resulted in the deaths of 25 individuals and injured 81 others, according to the ministry. The Ministry of Health emphasized the dire situation, noting that many of the deceased and injured remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, with rescue efforts hampered by restrictions imposed by Israeli forces.
Adding to the turmoil, the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, stated that their fighters engaged Israeli forces in the al-Shuja'ijeh neighborhood, east of Gaza City. They reported inflicting casualties among the Israeli soldiers during these clashes.
The conflict extends beyond Gaza, with intense fighting reported in the West Bank. Palestinian fighters are engaged in heavy battles against Israeli forces, further escalating the violence in the region.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) announced that approximately 250,000 Palestinians were forced to flee Khan Yunis following new evacuation orders issued by Tel Aviv. This mass displacement underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian population.
The situation in Gaza and the broader region remains precarious, with significant international concern about the escalating violence and its impact on civilians. Humanitarian organizations continue to call for immediate ceasefires and unrestricted access to provide aid to those affected by the conflict.
