News - Middle East: The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that hospitals in the Gaza Strip have received 95 martyrs and injured individuals over the past 24 hours due to the continued Israeli aggression, now in its 416th consecutive day.

In its daily statistical report on the number of martyrs and injured caused by the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, issued on Monday, the Ministry stated that the enemy has committed two massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip.

It reported that Gaza hospitals handled 24 martyrs and 71 injured as a result of the enemy's massacres, noting that several victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense teams.

Since the beginning of the Israeli military aggression and the ongoing act of genocide in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the death toll has risen to 44,235 martyrs, in addition to 104,638 individuals injured with varying degrees of severity.

In the same regard, the international humanitarian organization Save the Children said about 130,000 Palestinian children aged under 10 in northern Gaza have been cut off from food and aid supplies since Israeli forces launched a siege on the northern part of the already blockaded strip.

“The situation in northern Gaza is not fit for human survival and yet we know there are about 130,000 children under 10 trapped in those conditions, not to mention the thousands of older children and their families,” said Jeremy Stoner, Regional Director of Save the Children.

“The war in Gaza is a war on children. There is no plainer way to illustrate this than to look at the people who make up the death figures – over 4 in every 10 people verified killed in Gaza is a child. Of these children, most are 5–9-year-olds. These are children who should be learning to read and ride bikes. They should not be ending up in mortuaries.”

Describing the situation in Gaza as “the tip of a terrible iceberg”, Stoner called for safe, immediate humanitarian access for the area and urged the international community to take action, in line with its obligations.
