The Gaza Health Ministry released a statement on Tuesday revealing that 82 individuals lost their lives in the most recent 24-hour period due to Israeli operations. Additionally, a total of 234 people sustained injuries during this time frame.
According to the ministry, these recent casualties have contributed to a staggering total of 35,173 fatalities and 79,061 injuries since October 7. It is important to note that the ministry's data does not differentiate between casualties among combatants and civilians. Furthermore, the figures provided do not account for the several thousand individuals who are believed to be missing in Gaza since October 7.
The accuracy of the numbers reported by the ministry cannot be independently verified at this time. The lack of distinction between military personnel and non-combatants in the casualty count raises concerns about the impact of the conflict on civilian populations.
As the situation in Gaza continues to unfold, it is crucial for international organizations and humanitarian agencies to closely monitor the developments and provide assistance to those affected by the ongoing hostilities.
