  • Over 53,000 Palestinians have died since Israel's offensive began in October 2023.
  • The death toll continues to rise with recent airstrikes causing massive casualties.
  • The UN reports that around 90% of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced.
  • Palestinians commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba amid ongoing violence.
  • Warrants for Israeli leaders for war crimes highlight international concerns over the conflict.

Recent escalations in military strikes have left at least 53,119 Palestinians dead since October 2023, with the most recent incidents resulting in numerous casualties in Khan Younis and Jabalia, according to local health officials. A significant portion of the victims includes women and children, further highlighting the devastating impact on civilians as Israeli forces continue their operations against Gaza, marking repercussions on human life and health care facilities, according to AA and Reuters.

Latest reports indicate that on a single day, Israeli strikes killed over 100 Palestinians, with heartbreaking accounts of entire families being obliterated in their homes. Witnesses describe scenes of terror and destruction, with numerous casualties arising from strikes on densely populated areas, leading to continued humanitarian crises as medical resources become overwhelmed, according to AA and Al Jazeera.

The United Nations has highlighted that approximately 90% of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced due to the ongoing conflict. The situation is further aggravated as many residents continue to live under constant threat of airstrikes, with over half a million facing imminent starvation according to global hunger monitors. The cycle of violence occurs as Palestinians mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, reflecting on long-standing grievances rooted in their historical expulsion, as reported by AA and TRT Global.

In response to the relentless violence, calls for accountability have emerged, including the issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli leadership by the International Criminal Court for suspected war crimes. This ongoing conflict has not only highlighted the toll on the ground but has extended concerns about potential war crimes to international courts, as noted by various sources including AA and AA.
