Another 35 Palestinians were killed in the barbaric Israeli attack on the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza. Due to this, the total number of people killed in the valley has reached about 39 thousand 500 people.
The Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement that 35 Palestinians were killed and 55 wounded in the last 24 hours of Israeli bombardment. But the number of casualties is more. Because many people are buried under the rubble. Those who were suppressed were not caught in the calculation.
It should be noted that since the unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel has continued to carry 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 by Israeli attacks.
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 acute 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.
Last Monday, the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan. While Hamas welcomed the proposal, Israel rejected calls for a cease-fire and vowed to continue fighting the Palestinian territories.
