In the past 24 hours, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported a total of 14 fatalities and 108 injuries due to what they describe as 'ongoing Israeli aggression.' This brings the death toll from Israeli military actions in Gaza since the October 7, 2023 attack to 44,249, with 104,746 individuals sustaining injuries.
The ministry's report highlights the challenging situation on the ground, noting that some victims remain trapped under rubble or on roads where emergency response teams are unable to reach them promptly.
It is important to note that the ministry's data does not differentiate between combatant and civilian casualties. However, previous reports have indicated that a significant number of those killed are women and children.
It is crucial to approach these figures with caution as the source is unable to independently verify the accuracy of the information provided by the ministry.
The escalating violence in Gaza underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and the protection of civilian lives in the region.
