At least 87 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, despite a ceasefire agreement that was supposed to bring an end to the violence.
The Israeli military has continued to pound Gaza with airstrikes, targeting residential areas and killing innocent civilians, including children and women.
Eyewitnesses describe the scenes as “apocalyptic,” with buildings reduced to rubble and families left to pick up the pieces.
The Gaza Strip, already struggling under a crippling blockade, is now facing a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
“The situation is catastrophic,” said Dr. Ayman al-Halabi, a surgeon at Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital. “We are doing our best to treat the injured, but the sheer number of casualties is overwhelming.
We are in desperate need of medical supplies and equipment.”
The international community has condemned the Israeli attacks, calling for an immediate end to the violence and respect for the ceasefire agreement.
“The continued Israeli attacks on Gaza are a clear violation of international law and humanitarian principles,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. “I urge the Israeli government to immediately cease its military operations and respect the ceasefire agreement.”
The Palestinian people continue to suffer under Israeli occupation, with thousands killed and injured in recent years.
The international community must take immediate action to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes and to bring about a just and lasting peace to the region.
