Over the past 24 hours, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported that at least 71 Palestinians have lost their lives in Israeli attacks, bringing the total death toll to nearly 34,000 individuals. As of April 18, the ministry has recorded a total of 33,970 Palestinian fatalities and 76,770 injuries. It is important to note that these figures have not been independently verified by a reliable source, and the ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in its daily reports.

Human Rights Watch and Oxfam have recently accused Israel of engaging in what they describe as 'indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks' that violate international law. Additionally, these organizations have criticized Israel for imposing collective punishments on the civilian population.
