In the latest toll issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 431 of the ongoing genocide, the number of martyrs has reached 44,786, with 106,188 wounded since October 7, 2023.

The Israeli occupation committed four massacres across the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, killing 28 Palestinians and injuring 54 others, according to the ministry.

While some of the victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals in the Strip, most of them remain trapped beneath the rubble, with almost impossible means to get out, amid the continuous Israeli obstruction of rescue operations. 

The Israeli carnage continues

The government office in the Gaza Strip announced that "Israel" committed a horrific massacre by bombing a residential building in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in 25 martyrs so far, including more than 10 children and women, along with dozens of injuries and missing persons.

The statement pointed out that Israeli occupation forces were aware that dozens of forcibly displaced civilians, most of them children and women, were living in this building, having been displaced from their homes and civilian neighborhoods.

It highlighted that this new crime comes at the same time as "Israel’s" plan to collapse the healthcare system in northern Gaza by destroying all hospitals and medical centers and rendering them out of service.

This is also happening alongside "Israel's" prevention of the entry of medicines, treatments, and medical supplies, as well as its blocking of relief and emergency teams and the work of the Civil Defense, which specializes in saving lives.

These massacres, according to the statement, are also occurring alongside "Israel's" policy of starvation and preventing citizens from accessing aid, withholding basic necessities for life, and its systematic policy of forced displacement, which constitutes a crime against humanity and a violation of international law.

The statement called for the international community and global organizations to urgently demand the reopening of hospitals and medical centers across all Gaza governorates, particularly in northern Gaza, and to allow the entry of surgical medical teams and ambulances, as well as Civil Defense vehicles into northern Gaza, which is facing ethnic cleansing.

It condemned the Israeli occupation for committing this new massacre against civilians, children, and women, calling on all countries around the world to condemn these horrific massacres against displaced persons, civilians, children, and women.

The statement held the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and the countries involved in this genocide, especially the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, fully responsible for the ongoing ethnic cleansing, extermination war, genocide, and the continued commission of these massacres against civilians in Gaza.
