The Health Ministry in Gaza, under Hamas administration, has reported a staggering toll of casualties due to ongoing Israeli attacks. According to their recent press statement, the death toll has surpassed 31,000, with an additional 85 fatalities and 130 injuries in the past 24 hours alone.
This brings the total number of casualties to 31,045 deaths and 72,654 injuries. Tragically, some individuals are still trapped beneath the rubble, compounded by the challenges of rescue efforts amidst relentless bombardment and a shortage of emergency responders.
The Israeli military's offensive in Gaza is in response to Hamas's incursion across the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023, resulting in significant loss of life and numerous hostages. This escalation has led to a devastating cycle of violence and retaliation, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict.
