Gaza Strip: Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported today that the death toll has risen to 48,181, the vast majority of whom are women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli military aggression on October 7, 2023.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the total number of casualties has also increased to 111,163, with many more injured and still in need of urgent medical care. Over the past 48 hours alone, 26 additional Palestinians were reported killed, including 22 whose bodies were recovered from the rubble during the ongoing search efforts.
The situation remains dire, as at least hundreds of people are still unaccounted for, trapped under the debris of their homes throughout Gaza. Ambulance and civil defense teams continue to face significant challenges in reaching these areas due to the widespread destruction and ongoing airstrikes.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening by the hour, as the strip grapples with severe shortages of medical supplies, food, and water, while the civilian death toll continues to climb.
