Israeli bombardment of besieged Gaza continues. In the last 24 hours, 107 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza. With this, the total number of people killed in the valley has reached 32 thousand 333 people. More than 74,000 Palestinians were injured in this attack. The Ministry of Health of Gaza reported this information in a press statement on Monday.

Since the unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel has been carrying out continuous air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of buildings including hospitals, schools, refugee camps, mosques, churches have been damaged or destroyed in this Israeli attack.

In addition, more than two million residents have been forced to leave their homes due to Israeli aggression.

Basically the Israeli invasion has reduced Gaza to rubble. According to the United Nations, about 85 percent of Gaza’s Palestinians have been displaced by Israel’s brutal offensive. And with severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, all of Gaza is now food insecure.

In addition, 60 percent of the infrastructure in the besieged territory has been damaged or destroyed. Thousands of people are living without any form of shelter and fewer relief trucks are entering the region than needed.

In such a situation, after a long period of tension, the proposal for an emergency ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was finally passed by the UN Security Council. The resolution passed also calls for a cease-fire in Gaza, as well as the swift and unconditional release of prisoners held by Hamas, the group that controls the Gaza Strip.

After the resolution was put to a vote at a meeting of the UN’s highest-powered body on Monday, all members of the council voted in favor of the resolution, but the United States abstained from voting. However, the country did not present any argument against the proposal or exercise veto power.
