75 Days of Brutal Aggression Against Gaza: Rising Death Toll and Humanitarian Crisis

December 20, 2023

The Israeli aggression against the people of Gaza has continued for 75 consecutive days, leaving devastation in its wake. As the death toll soared to 100 within hours, the total number of martyrs and missing persons since the start of the aggression on October 7 has reached a staggering 27,000.

Yesterday evening, the Israeli occupation aircraft mercilessly bombed a house in Deir al-Balah, resulting in the martyrdom of 13 citizens and leaving others injured. Similarly, in a horrifying display of violence, 15 citizens were martyred and numerous others were injured when the occupants aircraft targeted a house belonging to the Hamdan family in Khan Yunis.

The neighborhoods of Al-Tuffah, Al-Daraj, and Al-Shujaiya in Gaza strip were not spared from the vicious attacks either, as they were bombarded by the occupation artillery. Additionally, a house near Sheikh Radwan Pool in the city faced the wrath of the Israeli warfare.

Tragically, eyewitnesses reported that the occupation forces executed more than 13 citizens near Al-Jalaa Tower in Gaza, leaving them bleeding on the ground. Despite desperate pleas from children and women, who called on the International Red Cross and ambulance crews for assistance, the victims remained stranded.

Medical sources confirmed the arrival of approximately 100 martyrs and hundreds of wounded individuals at hospitals in the past few hours, highlighting the massacre inflicted by the occupation forces throughout the Gaza Strip. A grim reality came to the forefront earlier when an Israeli air strike obliterated two residential towers in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of 50 citizens and leaving others injured and trapped under the rubble.

The occupation’s relentless targeting of the Jabalia area in the northern Gaza Strip continued, causing further devastation and loss of life. Local sources reported that rescue crews discovered the bodies of 50 martyrs and rescued 12 injured individuals from the wreckage. Despite ongoing efforts, 50 people are still missing and trapped underneath the debris.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA) headquarters in the Al-Sinaa area of Gaza also suffered the wrath of the occupation forces, adding to the long list of targeted locations.

Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, faced intensive attacks from the occupation’s aircraft and artillery. At Nasser Hospital, numerous bodies of martyrs and dozens of wounded arrived, victims of Israeli raids and live bullets fired by drones targeting a house and a school sheltering displaced people.

In the Nuseirat camp of the central Gaza Strip, tragedy struck again as a female citizen was martyred, and four others were injured when the occupation bombed a residential apartment. Ambulance and rescue crews tirelessly worked to recover the bodies of martyrs and wounded individuals from under the ruins of the Al-Salhi Tower in the camp.

While these brutal assaults continued unabated, the United Nations General Assembly demonstrated overwhelming support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. In a resolution adopted by 172 countries, the majority called for an end to the Israeli occupation, the establishment of an independent state of Palestine, and the achievement of a just and lasting peace settlement based on relevant United Nations resolutions.

Amidst the ongoing tragedy, the World Health Organization issued a grave warning regarding the deteriorating health system in Gaza. An epidemic outbreak looms large, with concerns heightened due to the displacement of nearly one million children in Gaza. The desperate situation is exacerbated by the onset of cold and rainy weather, creating a real state of hunger among the population.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society is struggling to provide essential ambulance services, and the provision of medical supplies to hospitals has also been severely hampered.
