Spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra from the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported a grim toll from Israel’s ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip. Over the course of 68 days, the death toll has risen significantly. Al-Qudra’s recent statement highlighted that within the last 24 hours alone, 196 people lost their lives, and 499 sustained injuries due to Israeli attacks.
Al-Qudra emphasized a distressing detail that Israeli soldiers hindered ambulance access, leading to casualties succumbing to injuries from blood loss. The cumulative toll since the commencement of attacks on October 7 now stands at 18,608 fatalities and 50,594 injuries in Gaza.
