The daily statistical report on the casualties from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip reveals that, in the past 24 hours alone, 36 Palestinians were martyred—including three whose bodies were retrieved—and 41 others were injured.
Many victims remain trapped under the rubble or lying in the streets, where emergency and Civil Defense teams are unable to reach them due to the continued bombardment.
Since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, the total death toll has climbed to 50,846, with 115,729 reported injuries. Notably, since March 18, 2025, 1,482 Palestinians have been killed and 3,688 injured.
Amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip, a group of United Nations experts underlined on Tuesday that Israeli policies are "more extreme" than anything experienced since October 7, 2023, urging governments around the world to meet their obligations to ensure the occupation's compliance with international law.
The group of experts includes Francesca Albanese and former Greek Foreign Minister George Katrougalos, among others.
“We are witnessing the destruction of Palestinian life,” the experts stated, underlining that "If they are not killed by bombs or bullets, they slowly suffocate for lack of basic means of survival. The only difference is the means and speed of death."
The experts said that this round of the Israeli war in Gaza, specifically after the regime broke the ceasefire in mid-March, is "more aggressive than ever." They noted the killings of thousands of civilians, including journalists and health workers.
Furthermore, the experts said that the UN can no longer guarantee the safety of its teams in the Gaza Strip, pointing to an Israeli tank attack on a UN compound in Deir al-Balah. Among the underlined incidents was the Israeli occupation forces' killing of eight members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The emergency workers came under heavy fire from ground troops and were later buried near the site of the ambush.
On that note, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Tuesday that Gaza has become a "killing field", accusing "Israel" of obstructing supplies and failing to meet its "unequivocal obligations" toward the needs of the Palestinian territory's residents.
Addressing journalists, the UN chief said that more than a month passed "without a drop of aid into Gaza. No food. No fuel. No medicine. No commercial supplies. As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened."
He stressed the responsibilities of the "occupying power" to provide food and medical supplies to the people of Gaza, citing the Geneva Conventions.
"None of that is happening today. No humanitarian supplies can enter Gaza," Guterres noted.
"The Israeli authorities newly proposed 'authorization mechanisms' for aid delivery risk further controlling and callously limiting aid down to the last calorie and grain of flour," Guterres told reporters at UN headquarters in New York, referencing recent Israeli suggestions of overseeing aid into Gaza, which a UN source told AFP included calorie monitoring.
