Israeli Strikes and Ground Operations Lead to Rising Death Toll in Gaza

Credited from: AA

  • Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have killed over 150 Palestinians in recent days, with a focus on densely populated areas.
  • Hospitals in Gaza, including the Indonesian Hospital, have been heavily affected, facing closures and operational difficulties.
  • Humanitarian conditions in Gaza are critical due to a blockade restricting food, medicine, and essential supplies.
  • The conflict began on October 7, 2023, following attacks by Hamas, resulting in extensive retaliatory strikes by Israel.
  • International calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid have intensified amid concerns of escalating violence and civil casualties.

Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 153 Palestinians in just one day, reflecting a dramatic escalation in violence as Israel launches its new ground operation, "Gideon's Chariots." Reports indicate that airstrikes focused on densely populated regions, including a strike on Jabaliya refugee camp, where entire families were killed, contributing to the rising death toll among civilians, including women and children, according to India Times, SCMP, and TRT Global.

Hospital facilities have faced severe disruptions due to ongoing bombardments, with the Indonesian Hospital and others being targeted, rendering them almost non-functional. Dr. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital, indicated that supplies have not been received for over 80 days, and rescue operations are hampered by constant shelling, further complicating the humanitarian crisis, as reported by India Times and Al Jazeera.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly due to a blockade that restricts essential supplies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently approved a limited number of aid trucks into Gaza, though UN officials emphasized that these efforts are insufficient to meet the overwhelming needs of the population facing famine, with only a fraction of the necessary supplies entering the territory as documented by India Times and SCMP.

The conflict, initiated on October 7, 2023, following a Hamas-led attack, has seen significant retaliatory actions from Israel, with civilian casualties rising sharply. Reports indicate that over 53,000 Palestinians have been killed due to the fighting, and efforts for peace and humanitarian aid are continuing amid international scrutiny, according to AA and BBC.
