What Happened in Gaza in the Last 48 Hours
The attacks carried out by the Israeli army in Gaza in the last 48 hours have caused more destruction and losses for the people of the region. According to the statements made by the Health Ministry, 61 Palestinians lost their lives in four major attacks during this period. The number of injured was announced as 162. Among the injured are children and women, while it is stated that intensive care units in hospitals are full and the lack of medical supplies has become a major problem.
The ministry emphasized that health teams and civil defense officials in the region are working under difficult conditions. The teams trying to reach the injured and bodies under the rubble are experiencing great difficulties in fulfilling their duties due to the obstacles of Israel. It is stated that it has become impossible to reach the dead and injured on the sides of the road and under the rubble of buildings, and this situation has led to more loss of life in the region.
Casualties in Gaza Since October 7, 2023
The attacks launched by the Israeli army on October 7, 2023 have caused a major humanitarian crisis in Gaza. According to the latest data from the Gaza Health Ministry, a total of 40,939 people have lost their lives to date. The number of people injured in the attacks has reached 94,616. The increasing number of deaths and injuries is deepening the dimensions of the tragedy in the region.
The infrastructure systems in Gaza have been largely destroyed. The lack of electricity, water and food supplies is making the people’s living conditions even more difficult. The people of Gaza, who are struggling to meet their most basic needs, have become dependent on the support of humanitarian organizations. However, the access of aid organizations to the region has also been restricted due to the blockade and attacks implemented by Israel.
Lives Under the Rubble
The Ministry of Health is drawing attention to the situation in the settlements that are the target of Israeli attacks. While there are reports that there are still many people under the rubble, the obstacles that rescue teams and health workers face in reaching these people are further increasing the dimensions of the tragedy. It is reported that aid is delayed even in safe areas due to the ongoing attacks by the Israeli army in the region and that many people are in mortal danger.
While this situation is deepening the humanitarian crisis in the region, calls to the international community are also increasing. The United Nations (UN) and other human rights organizations have drawn attention to the fact that the situation in Gaza requires urgent intervention and are calling on the parties to immediately ceasefire and open humanitarian aid corridors.
International Reactions and the Future of Gaza
Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza continue to draw reactions in the international arena. Many countries have called on Israel, stating that targeting civilians is unacceptable. Palestinian officials, on the other hand, emphasize that they expect more support from the international community and that the humanitarian tragedy experienced by the people in Gaza should not be ignored.
While international media organizations are closely following the situation in Gaza, images and news from the region have a great impact on the world public opinion. However, despite all these reactions, the attacks in Gaza continue unabated. The tragedy that the Palestinian people are experiencing during this process is an indication of how far peace is in the region.
Conclusion: Growing Crisis in Gaza
As the situation in the Gaza Strip worsens by the day, the Israeli army’s attacks continue to create a deep humanitarian crisis in the region. The clashes, which have left 61 people dead and hundreds injured in the last 48 hours, once again highlight the difficult conditions that the people of Gaza are in. Without the intervention of the international community, achieving peace in the region and the delivery of humanitarian aid will continue to be a major challenge.
