Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis Unfolds in Gaza as Conflict Persists
ISLAMABAD, In the aftermath of the 66-day-long conflict between Palestine and Israel, the Ministry of Health reports a devastating toll on the people of Gaza. The grim statistics reveal that 18,000 lives have been lost, including 7,729 children and 5,153 women. The number of injuries stands at 48,780, with 8,663 children and 6,327 women among the casualties. Shockingly, 7,780 people remain missing.
In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health discloses that 273 individuals, including 63 children, have lost their lives, and the number of injuries has surpassed 3,365. Additionally, 300 Palestinians fell victim to the relentless bombardment by Israeli forces.
Gaza remains a harrowing scene as the Israeli army persists in persecuting innocent Palestinians. The relentless attacks have claimed the lives of 300 more Palestinians, with hundreds trapped under the rubble of demolished buildings.
The destruction extends beyond human casualties, as the Zionist forces have obliterated the vital road connecting Khan Yunis to Rafah. Hospitals and ambulances have not been spared, with two medical workers losing their lives in the attacks.
The Palestinian Civil Defense faces formidable challenges in evacuating those trapped under debris, exacerbated by a severe lack of fuel. Struggling with just one operational vehicle, the Civil Defense grapples with the overwhelming task of responding to the crisis.
The situation continues to escalate, with Israel targeting 3,500 additional locations in Gaza since the ceasefire ended. Throughout the conflict, Israeli forces have struck a staggering 22,000 targets. The international community watches with growing concern as the humanitarian crisis unfolds, calling for urgent action to address the ongoing tragedy.
