As the Israeli aggression on Gaza nears its one-year mark, the toll continues to escalate dramatically. On Day 363 of this tragic standoff, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports a staggering 41,788 lives lost and 96,794 injured within the Gaza Strip due to relentless Israeli bombardments. In the past 24 hours alone, Israeli occupation forces have launched eight devastating attacks targeting families, resulting in 99 new fatalities and leaving 169 others hospitalized.

The continuous violence has sparked a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions, exacerbated by a strict Israeli blockade preventing essential aid from reaching those in need. The inability of Civil Defense teams to access many areas has left countless individuals buried in the rubble, unaccounted for since the escalation began on October 7, 2023.
