Gaza Death Toll Exceeds 52,000 Amid Ongoing Conflict
The Gaza Health Ministry reported 51 additional deaths from Israeli airstrikes, pushing the total number of Palestinian fatalities in the 18-month conflict with Hamas past 52,000. These deaths occurred in the past 24 hours. Hospitals in Gaza are struggling to cope with the continuous influx of casualties. The ongoing conflict continues to take a devastating toll on the region.
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip Hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the remains of 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes in the past 24 hours, the local Health Ministry said Sunday, bringing the Palestinian death toll from the 18-month-old Israel-Hamas war to 52,243. The Health Ministry relies on hospital records to compile the overall count. The numbers do not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The conflict has caused widespread devastation and displacement in Gaza, with many residents lacking access to basic necessities. International organizations have expressed concerns about the humanitarian situation and called for a ceasefire to allow for the delivery of aid and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The ongoing violence continues to exacerbate the already dire conditions in the region, leaving many civilians vulnerable.
