Death toll from Israeli aggression in Gaza reaches 44,502
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported two mass killings of civilians in the past 24 hours, leaving 36 dead and 96 injured. These latest attacks bring the death toll from Israeli aggression to 44,502, with 105,454 injured, since 7 October 2023.
In a related development, the Qatar News Agency (QNA) cited the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, which described the situation in northern Gaza as a humanitarian catastrophe. The monitor reported that 70,000 Palestinians remain besieged in the region, enduring severe starvation and deprivation, amounting to what it called “the largest genocide campaign in modern times.”
The monitor detailed that northern Gaza has been under complete siege for two months, leaving residents without food, medicine, or clean water. Displacement has compounded the crisis, with over 150,000 individuals forcibly uprooted since the onset of hostilities on October 5. The besieged population now faces famine conditions amid relentless bombings and destruction of remaining shelters.
Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of France, Britain, and Germany have urged Israel to permit the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. In a letter to their Israeli counterpart, the ministers stressed the need for immediate, safe, and unimpeded access for aid in light of the “catastrophic situation” in the Strip.
The French Foreign Ministry reiterated on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that the three nations called on Israel to adhere to international humanitarian law and protect civilian populations. “France, Britain, and Germany demand Israel fulfill its obligations and ensure the well-being of civilians in Gaza,” the statement concluded.
