The Ministry of Health in Gaza recently announced that there have been 17 massacres in just 24 hours.
The Toll on Gaza
Since October 7th, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has caused the loss of over 23,000 lives. That's a huge number! Not only that, but more than 58,000 people have been injured. Most of the people hurt or killed were women and children. It's really important to remember that these are real people, just like you and me, who have been affected by this violence.
The Danger to Health Facilities
The Ministry of Health in Gaza is really worried about the situation. They say that the Israeli occupation forces have been targeting health facilities, which is really dangerous. They have already warned that the condition of these facilities is getting worse and worse. This means that it's becoming harder for people to get the medical help they need. It's a really scary situation.
Hospitals Overwhelmed
Things are so bad that hospitals in southern Gaza can't even handle all the injured people anymore. They are completely full, and there are even people lying on the ground in the hallways and courtyards. Can you imagine how crowded and chaotic that must be? It's really sad to think about.
The Triangle of Challenges
The Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson, Ashraf Al-Qudra, says that the people in Gaza are facing three big challenges: famine, drought, and epidemics. He calls this the "triangle" of challenges. There are 1.9 million people who have been forced to leave their homes and live in shelters in Gaza. Al-Qudra is asking the United Nations and other organizations to help prevent a health and humanitarian catastrophe for these displaced people. They really need urgent help.
Ongoing Aggression
Unfortunately, the Israeli aggression continues. Just this morning, the Israeli army launched more attacks on the central and southern parts of Gaza. Over 50 people were killed in these attacks. At the same time, there are intense clashes happening between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli forces in a place called Khan Yunis.
Specific Aggressions
According to a medical source, Israeli raids targeted homes in Deir al-Balah, a town in the central Gaza Strip. This attack alone caused 18 deaths and many injuries. There were also violent raids on Al-Maghazi and Nuseirat camps, which are places where people live. These attacks caused more deaths and injuries. It's really devastating to hear about all this violence.
Clashes and Bombings
There are ongoing clashes between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli forces. The Israeli army is using a lot of air and artillery bombardment in different areas. They are even trying to advance into a place called Qaizan Al-Najjar. It's a really dangerous and scary situation for everyone involved.
It's really heartbreaking to hear about all the aggressions and massacres in Gaza. We need to remember that these are real people who are suffering! It's important to show empathy and support for those affected by this tragedy.
