Gaza's Government Media Office announced on Sunday that more than 61,000 people have been killed as a result of "Israel's" military campaign in the Gaza Strip, including a significant number of healthcare workers, journalists, and emergency responders.

According to the statement, the genocidal campaign has taken a devastating toll on civilians and frontline workers. Among those martyred are 1,115 healthcare professionals, 205 journalists, and 194 civil defense personnel.

"Over 61,000 people have fallen victim to the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip," the statement declared.

On Saturday, the Gaza Health Ministry reported 47,487 confirmed martyrs. The number continues to increase as more bodies are being recovered from the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.

2,500 Gaza children face death

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for the urgent evacuation of 2,500 children injured during the war to receive urgent medical treatment.

His appeal follows a meeting with US doctors who warned that the children face an "imminent risk of death" in the coming weeks.

The four doctors, who had volunteered in Gaza during the 15-month-long war on Gaza, described the dire state of the territory’s healthcare system, which has been severely affected by the ongoing war.

Guterres said he was "deeply moved" after his discussion with the US doctors on Thursday. "2,500 children must be immediately evacuated with the guarantee that they will be able to return to their families and communities," he wrote on social media.

I was deeply moved by the testimonies and impressed by the dedication of 4 American doctors that have worked in Gaza.
