GAZA: In the Gaza Strip on Thursday, a devastating wave of Israeli airstrikes claimed the lives of 64 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The attacks marked yet another brutal escalation in the long-standing conflict, with the ministry reporting that over the past 24 hours alone, 67 Palestinians have been killed and 184 injured as a result of relentless military operations.
Rescue teams worked tirelessly to recover the bodies of five additional victims trapped beneath the rubble of destroyed buildings, underscoring the scale of destruction faced by civilians. Since the fragile ceasefire collapsed in March, Israeli strikes have killed nearly 4,000 Palestinians in Gaza, leaving thousands more wounded and communities shattered.
The ministry’s figures reveal a grim reality for Gaza’s population, reporting that over 11,000 people have sustained injuries in the months since the ceasefire ended. The overall toll since the conflict’s flare-up on 7 October 2023 is staggering: more than 54,000 Palestinians have lost their lives, while over 123,000 have been wounded.
These numbers paint a stark picture of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where relentless military action continues to inflict profound suffering on civilians, many of whom live in densely populated areas with limited access to medical care and essential services. The international community remains deeply concerned as the cycle of violence shows little sign of abating, further complicating efforts to restore peace and stability to the region.
