“Escalating Israeli Aggression: Death Toll in Gaza Nears 44,000 Amid Unrelenting Bombardment”

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in catastrophic loss of life and continued destruction. On Tuesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that hospitals in Gaza received 50 martyrs and 110 injured due to new massacres.

The total death toll in Gaza since October 7, 2023, has now risen to 43,972, with 104,008 individuals wounded**, many critically. The Ministry highlighted that numerous victims remain trapped under rubble or lie unclaimed on the streets, as rescue teams are unable to reach them due to the intensity of the bombardments.

The relentless attacks have entered their 410th day, with Gaza enduring continuous artillery shelling and aerial strikes targeting residential areas, infrastructure, and public facilities. This aggression has been described as genocidal, perpetrated with apparent Western and American backing and amidst widespread silence from Arab and Islamic nations.

The escalation began following Hamas’ launch of *Operation Al-Aqsa Storm* on October 7, 2023, a response to decades of Israeli oppression and military actions against Palestinians. Since then, the Israeli occupation forces have intensified their military campaign, with extensive collateral damage to civilian lives and infrastructure.

The devastation extends beyond Gaza. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes have claimed the lives of 3,481 people and injured14,786 others, as reported by the Lebanese Ministry of Health. The bombardments on Lebanon have also intensified since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, further escalating tensions across the region.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon continues to deteriorate rapidly as calls for international intervention remain largely unanswered.
