The death toll in Gaza has surged to 63,459 as Israel’s ongoing genocide against the besieged Palestinian population enters its eleventh month, according to medical sources.

Local health authorities reported that at least 88 Palestinians were killed and 421 others wounded in the past 24 hours alone. Women and children continue to make up the overwhelming majority of victims in what human rights groups are describing as one of the bloodiest assaults in modern history.

Since Israel resumed its full-scale onslaught on March 18 following a two-month truce, an additional 11,328 Palestinians have been killed and 48,215 injured, according to Gaza’s health officials. The relentless attacks have left emergency services overwhelmed, with many victims still trapped beneath rubble or lying on roads inaccessible to rescuers. Ambulance and civil defense crews have themselves come under direct Israeli fire, further hampering rescue efforts.

Despite mounting global outcry, Israel’s aggression continues in defiance of United Nations Security Council calls for an immediate ceasefire and International Court of Justice directives demanding urgent measures to prevent genocide and alleviate Gaza’s catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The enclave remains in ruins as airstrikes, artillery shelling, and ground assaults devastate civilian neighborhoods, hospitals, and refugee camps. Gaza’s exhausted health system has warned that it can no longer cope with the flood of casualties, while aid agencies describe conditions as “beyond catastrophic.”

With tens of thousands dead, hundreds of thousands injured, and countless families displaced, Palestinians in Gaza are enduring what many describe as an existential war of extermination. (ILKHA)
