The Health Ministry in Gaza reveals that the Israeli occupation has killed dozens of Palestinians within 24 hours as the aggression intensifies.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Thursday that 40 Palestinians were martyred and 146 others were injured in 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli airstrikes.

The ministry added that the total death toll from the Israeli aggression on Gaza had risen to 50,886, with 115,875 people injured since October 7, 2023.

The ministry issued an urgent call to replenish the medical supplies in hospitals and primary care centers, as it reported a critical and unprecedented shortage of essential medicines and medical consumables. The shortage has reached alarming levels, with 37% of the essential medicines and 59% of medical consumables now depleted.

In particular, the ministry noted that 80,000 diabetic patients and 110,000 people suffering from high blood pressure are unable to receive their required medications in primary care centers. Moreover, 54% of cancer and blood disease medications are now out of stock, further escalating the health crisis.

Essential healthcare absent

Additionally, the ministry highlighted that the operating rooms, intensive care units, and emergency departments are working with depleted supplies of life-saving medicines and medical equipment.

The ongoing closure of border crossings, which restricts the entry of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, has exacerbated the crisis, creating catastrophic challenges in providing essential healthcare for the wounded and the sick.

The announcement comes as the Israeli occupation's bombardment of Gaza continues, with the region facing a severe humanitarian catastrophe due to the blockade and ongoing military actions, further intensifying the already dire situation.

'Israel' denied 68% of 170 humanitarian aid requests

UN Spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said Wednesday that "Israeli authorities have denied eight out of 14 attempts by aid workers to coordinate access to people needing urgent assistance."

He added that since the latest escalation began, "Israel" has denied 68% of a total 170 UN coordination requests, severely restricting the delivery of life-saving aid to more than two million Palestinians.

The statement follows remarks by Secretary-General António Guterres, who earlier this week described Gaza as a "killing field" and noted that the United Nations would not participate in any aid mechanism that compromises humanitarian principles or allows "Israel" to control and politicize relief efforts.

The aid blockade comes as "Israel" intensifies military operations, including a ground assault launched last Friday in Shejaiya, a densely populated neighborhood in northern Gaza.

The assault began shortly after "Israel" resumed airstrikes on March 18, following Hamas' rejection of a US-backed ceasefire proposal that failed to meet key Palestinian demands: a permanent end to hostilities, full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the lifting of the blockade.

'Collective punishment'

In tandem with its military actions, "Israel" also cut electricity to a vital desalination plant, halting access to clean water for thousands, and sealed border crossings, blocking the entry of aid trucks and medical supplies.

Human rights groups and UN agencies have warned that these measures amount to collective punishment—a violation of international humanitarian law.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that convoys attempting to deliver aid are not only denied permits but are also routinely turned back or fired upon, exacerbating already dire conditions.

"Israel's" insistence on unilateral control over humanitarian access has drawn condemnation from legal experts, who argue that obstructing essential aid while targeting civilian infrastructure may constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.

Despite these restrictions, Palestinian civilians—already suffering from displacement, hunger, and the collapse of critical infrastructure—remain cut off from meaningful international relief.
