Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 84 more Palestinians recently, raising the death toll to approximately 51,439 since October 2023, according to the Health Ministry. This dramatic rise in casualties follows a renewed military offensive that began on March 18 after a ceasefire agreement collapsed. The ongoing bombardment has left many victims trapped under rubble, complicating rescue efforts, with 117,416 reported injuries overall, according to aa.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reported that about 500,000 Palestinians have been displaced in the last month, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. The agency noted that due to Israeli military displacement orders, less than a third of Gaza remains habitable, worsening living conditions for civilians. Service providers are struggling to maintain operations as vital resources are depleted, as highlighted by aa.
Since the escalation of violence, the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, with the International Court of Justice hearing a genocide case against Israel. Reports indicate that at least 51,300 Palestinians have been killed since this conflict intensified, predominantly women and children, according to aa and trtglobal.
As Israel continues its bombardment, airstrikes on civilian structures, including homes and displacement camps, have resulted in numerous casualties including families targeted during nighttime bombings. Survivors describe horrific scenes as "there are only hands, legs, and heads" left after the strikes, according to a first responder from Gaza, cited by aljazeera.
