Day 406 in Gaza: 43,764 Killed, 103,490 Injured by ‘Israel’
Rescue teams face increasing difficulties in navigating their way to the site of the massacres without being targeted or endangered by the bombardment, rendering their operations near-impossible.
The death toll in Gaza continues to rise in numbers as “Israel” continues its war on civilians, killing and wounding them in the hundreds every day.
On day 406 of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and over the past 24 hours, the occupation forces committed three massacres, killing 28 Palestinians and injuring 120 more. Some were transported to barely functioning hospitals, but the majority remain trapped under the rubble.
Rescue teams face increasing difficulties in navigating their way to the site of the massacres without being targeted or endangered by the bombardment, rendering their operations near-impossible.
A total of 43,764 Palestinians have been killed and 103,490 injured since October 7, 2023.
Civil Defense inoperative in North
In North Gaza, the Palestinian Civil Defense announced that its operations have been forcibly halted for 24 days, leaving thousands of citizens without humanitarian services or medical care.
In a statement on its Telegram channel, Gaza’s Civil Defense asserted that the Israeli army attacked its teams in the northern Gaza Strip on October 24, seized their vehicles, displaced most of their personnel to central and southern Gaza, and kidnapped ten of their members.
It further sounded the alarms and called on humanitarian organizations to “respond to the urgent appeal and suffering of thousands of citizens trapped in northern Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli crimes, make serious efforts to restore the Civil Defense’s operations, and repair its disabled vehicles in Beit Lahia.”
In this context, the Government Media office affirmed that the situation in northern Gaza consisted of “ethnic cleansing, a holocaust, and genocide under the largest US-Israeli occupation and displacement plan, considered the most dangerous of the 21st century,” according to a report by the Government Media Office.
Situation in Gaza ‘dystopian horror’: UNRWA chief
The UNRWA Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as a “dystopian horror”, detailing how people are waiting to be killed by airstrikes in northern Gaza amid “unbelievable” conditions.
Lazzarini emphasized that despite being targeted and having facilities damaged, UNRWA still provides daily aid.
Lazzarini expressed that UNRWA is the backbone of a response for Palestine, and if it disappears from Gaza, the future generation would be sacrificed, noting that more than 650,000 children in Gaza are “deeply traumatized” and without a learning environment.
He stressed that “there cannot be peace without addressing Palestinian issue,” indicating that he would be communicating with US president-elect Donald Trump.
