The ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict has entered its 43rd day, with the death toll rising sharply. According to recent reports, at least 11,470 people have lost their lives in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7. The situation remains dire as the enclave's health system has collapsed, preventing accurate updates on casualties.
In Israel, the official death toll from Hamas's attacks stands at approximately 1,200. The grim statistics highlight the intense and sustained nature of the conflict affecting both sides.
Adding to the humanitarian crisis, the United Nations' World Food Programme has revealed that only 10 percent of the necessary food supplies are making their way into Gaza. This severe shortage puts the residents of the besieged and bombed Palestinian enclave at an immediate risk of starvation, exacerbating the already critical conditions.
The international community continues to watch closely as the conflict unfolds, with urgent calls for humanitarian aid and a ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
