The death toll in Gaza continues to surge as "Israel" intensifies its assault on civilians, killing and wounding hundreds daily.

On day 407 of the Israeli offensive on Gaza, and over the past 24 hours, occupation forces committed three massacres, leaving 35 Palestinians martyred and 111 injured.

Some were transported to overwhelmed hospitals, while many remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by medical and civil defense teams who face grave danger navigating the bombarded areas.

Since October 7, 2023, the total number of Palestinians martyred has risen to 43,799, with 103,601 injured.

Rescue teams face increasing difficulties in navigating their way to the site of the massacres without being targeted or endangered by the bombardment, rendering their operations near-impossible. 

Civil Defense inoperative in North 

In North Gaza, the Palestinian Civil Defense announced that its operations have been forcibly halted for 25 days, leaving thousands of citizens without humanitarian services or medical care. 

In a statement on its Telegram channel, Gaza's Civil Defense asserted that the Israeli army attacked its teams in the northern Gaza Strip on October 24, seized their vehicles, displaced most of their personnel to central and southern Gaza, and kidnapped ten of their members.

It further sounded the alarms and called on humanitarian organizations to "respond to the urgent appeal and suffering of thousands of citizens trapped in northern Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli crimes, make serious efforts to restore the Civil Defense's operations, and repair its disabled vehicles in Beit Lahia."

In this context, the Government Media office affirmed that the situation in northern Gaza consisted of "ethnic cleansing, a holocaust, and genocide under the largest US-Israeli occupation and displacement plan, considered the most dangerous of the 21st century," according to a report by the Government Media Office.
