Gaza City – The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported Wednesday that the death toll in Gaza has tragically surpassed 70,000 since the escalation of the conflict began on October 7, 2023. The number of injured now stands at over 171,000.
Medical sources in Gaza confirmed the grim figures, emphasizing that the majority of casualties are women and children. The relentless violence continues to exact a devastating toll on the civilian population.
The ongoing conflict, now in its fourteenth month, has resulted in widespread destruction and displacement across the Gaza Strip. Hospitals and medical facilities are struggling to cope with the overwhelming number of casualties, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
DZWatch continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as they become available. The international community is facing increasing pressure to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis and to ensure the protection of civilians.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with limited access to essential resources such as food, water, and medical supplies. International aid organizations are working tirelessly to provide assistance, but the scale of the humanitarian need is immense.
The conflict has had a profound impact on the mental and physical health of the residents of Gaza, many of whom have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. The long-term consequences of the violence will be felt for generations to come.
