Medical sources announced today, Saturday, that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 32,705, the majority of whom are children and women, since the start of the Israeli occupation aggression, on the seventh of last October.
The same sources added that the death toll has risen to 75,190 since the start of the aggression, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble.
It pointed out that Israeli army committed 8 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, of which 82 killed and 98 injured were brought to hospitals during the past 24 hours.
The aggression is on its 176th day... Israeli bombing does not stop on the Gaza Strip
The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has continued unabated for more than 176 days, leaving thousands of killed, wounded and missing, while diplomatic efforts continue to reach a truce agreement in the Strip.
Israel continued its air and ground bombardment on various areas of the Gaza Strip, which led to the death of dozens of Palestinians amid the intensification of fighting in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
According to Reuters, in the past few days, the United States has authorized sending billions of dollars worth of missiles and fighter planes to Israel, despite Washington declaring its fears of a possible Israeli invasion of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
For his part, on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light to hold new talks with the aim of reaching a truce in the Gaza Strip, which is subject to continuous Israeli bombing.
Netanyahu's office reported after his meeting with the heads of the Israeli intelligence "Mossad" and "Shin Bet" that he "agreed to a round of negotiations in the coming days in Doha and Cairo."
The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to "ensure the provision of urgent humanitarian assistance" to the Gaza Strip without delay, stressing that "famine has occurred."
The World Food Fund, via the “X” platform, summarized the situation by saying: “There is no other place in the world where so many people face the imminent threat of famine.”
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that Israel must "allow UNRWA to deliver food convoys to the northern Gaza Strip daily and open other land crossing points."
It is expected that a ship loaded with humanitarian aid will leave Cyprus today, Saturday, heading to Gaza, after the first ship departed in mid-March.
