Gaza: At least 95 more Palestinians have been martyred in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip as the Israeli aggression marks its 163rd consecutive day, according to reports from Palestinian news agency WAFA. This latest surge in casualties further escalates the dire humanitarian crisis gripping the besieged enclave.
The continuous bombardment has brought the total death toll in Gaza to over 57,000 since October 2023, with thousands more injured and many still trapped under the rubble, inaccessible to rescue efforts. Medical sources indicate that a significant portion of the casualties are women and children.
Recent days have seen a marked intensification of Israeli military operations, particularly in northern Gaza, leading to new evacuation orders and widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. Witnesses describe relentless bombing and a critical lack of access to basic necessities, with hundreds reportedly killed while attempting to access food aid.
The current escalation comes amidst ongoing international calls for a ceasefire and growing concerns over a potential full-scale ground offensive in Rafah, where a large portion of Gaza’s displaced population has sought refuge. Humanitarian organizations continue to warn of catastrophic conditions, with widespread hunger and disease exacerbating the crisis.
