Deadly conflict in Gaza exceeds 65,000 Palestinian fatalities

In the troubled region of Gaza, the second day of a ground offensive aimed at occupying the area has been met with widespread international condemnation. The operation, initiated by Israel as part of their offensive against Hamas, is referred to by Israel as Hamas's 'last stronghold.'

The past 24 hours have been marked by tragedy, with seven aid workers losing their lives and 87 being injured. This unfortunate incident has been reported by various humanitarian organisations, including Save the Children and Oxfam, who collectively issued a joint statement, labelling the situation in Gaza as 'unconscionable.'

The United Nations reports that over 190,000 people have been displaced from Gaza since August, while an estimated 650,000 residents remain in Gaza City. The Israeli Defence Forces have announced that approximately 350,000 people have fled Gaza City as a result of the ongoing conflict.

The military operation in Gaza City, as stated by Israel, aims to rescue hostages held by Hamas and defeat up to 3,000 fighters. However, the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 is over 65,000, according to Gaza-based health authorities. In the past 24 hours, hospitals in Gaza received 98 bodies and 385 wounded individuals, although the article does not provide new information about the specific numbers of bodies received or wounded individuals.

The total number of Palestinians killed and injured since the start of the conflict is 165,697. The situation in Gaza has received global attention, with the United Nations expressing grave concern over the escalating violence and the impact it is having on civilians.

As the conflict continues, the international community calls for an immediate ceasefire and a return to peaceful negotiations to resolve the ongoing issues in the region.
