The death toll from Israeli attacks in the besieged Gaza Strip has exceeded 40,000, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
In a statement on Thursday, 40,050 Palestinians have been killed since October 7 last year in the attacks of barbaric Israeli forces. Another 92 thousand 401 people were injured.
On October 7 last year, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas carried out a historic attack in Tel Aviv in protest against Israeli aggression. 1,200 people were killed in the attack and 250 were taken hostage by Hamas.
After this attack by Hamas, there were questions about the capabilities of the Israeli intelligence forces. In the end, the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered a counter-attack on Gaza to protect his self-esteem. Since then, the ongoing attacks have caused a terrible psychological crisis in Gaza.
According to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, 40 people were killed in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours. As a result, the number of dead in Gaza has reached 40 thousand 5 people. Besides, the number of injured has increased to 92 thousand 401.
International organizations said most of the dead in Gaza were civilians. Most of them are women and children.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reported in a report that since October 7, Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip has killed nearly 17,000 Palestinian children. About 2 thousand 100 of them are under two years of age.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called on the international community to take action to prevent Israeli occupation of land. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry says the Israelis are illegally occupying the land and constructing buildings. International action is necessary to prevent their occupation of the occupied West Bank.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Palestine said that Israeli forces are occupying Palestinian lands one by one and trying to separate these areas from Jerusalem.
In this situation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Palestine has called upon the international community to stop such activities of Israel and to solve the ongoing problem by forming two states.
