— The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has announced that the total number of casualties since the commencement of military operations in October 2023 has risen to 72,938 killed and 172,919 injured, amid the continuing fallout of the war and the severe deterioration of humanitarian conditions across the Strip.
According to the statistical report issued by the Ministry, hospitals received additional killed and wounded during the preceding forty-eight hours, while a number of victims remain trapped beneath the rubble or in areas rendered inaccessible due to security conditions and widespread destruction.
The Ministry further indicated that casualties continue to result from reported violations of the ceasefire agreement, with the toll of killed and wounded since the agreement came into effect rising to hundreds of fatalities and thousands of injuries, amid ongoing violence and the continued targeting of civilian areas.
These developments unfold against the backdrop of a deepening humanitarian crisis afflicting the population of the Strip, with infrastructure continuing to be destroyed, essential services deteriorating, and the humanitarian and healthcare needs of the civilian population steadily mounting.
International and United Nations organizations continue to issue urgent warnings regarding the severity of conditions in Gaza, calling for the protection of civilians and the guarantee of unimpeded humanitarian aid access, as threats to the lives of the population persist.
Justice for Human Rights Organization (JHR) condemns the continued killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip and affirms that the rising toll of dead and wounded reflects the full magnitude of the human tragedy and the grave violations to which the civilian population is being subjected. JHR stresses the imperative of compliance with the rules of international humanitarian law and the guarantee of protection for civilians and civilian infrastructure from targeting. JHR further notes that the continuation of violence and the obstruction of safe access for victims and rescue teams compounds the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe and deepens the suffering of the population. JHR calls upon the international community to take urgent action to halt these violations, ensure the delivery of humanitarian and relief assistance, conduct independent investigations, and hold accountable all those responsible for violations committed against civilians.
