Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,658 Palestinians and wounded 108,583 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.
Overnight in Gaza, an Israeli strike on a tent site in Deir el-Balah killed three people and in the northwest side of Gaza City, a whole family is still missing and trapped under the rubble. The civil defense department is doing its best to remove bodies from under the rubble, but they’ve only removed four of the family members.
It’s estimated there are at least 15 family members under the three-story building that was flattened to the ground.
These repeated attacks deliberate against families continue to unfold, causing more tragedies among Palestinians.

The past few days remind us of the initial days of this genocidal war across the Gaza Strip. More than 200 people have been killed in the past three days due to the ongoing attacks on residential buildings, on groups of people gathering in the streets, in marketplaces or inside their shelters.
Just yesterday alone, more than 60 people were killed and contrary to Israeli statements (that claim their targets are Hamas operatives) we are seeing women and children making up the vast majority of casualties.
Early evening yesterday, Israeli forces hit a gathering of people in front of an evacuation centre in Bureij refugee camp, which was an UNRWA school, who were buying dinner at a falafel shop or buying something to drink. The drone attack killed four people and injured many others.
Hospitals are also overwhelmed.
At the emergency department here at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, people were left on the floor and others were waiting to be admitted into the operating theatre and by the time it’s their turn, it’s too late they have already bled to death. The burns are quite severe, and no pain medication is available at the hospital.
There is also a silent death going on. In the past weeks, due to the ongoing attacks, people are dying quietly because of the lack of medical supplies. (Int’l News Desk)
