Zionist Strikes on Gaza Result in Over 95 Palestinian Fatalities Within Two Days: Health Ministry Reports
In the past 48 hours, zionist regime airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of over 90 Palestinians, including women and children, as tensions escalate in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Saturday evening that hospitals throughout the Gaza Strip have received a minimum of 95 bodies and have provided medical treatment to 304 individuals injured over the last 48 hours.
Israeli airstrikes focused primarily on Palestinian refugee camps located in the neighborhoods of al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, al-Bureij, and Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, in addition to targeting the southern regions of Rafah and Khan Younis.
Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis reported the arrival of 33 bodies on Saturday, while al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah received six. Meanwhile, al-Shifa and al-Ahli Arab hospitals in Gaza City received a total of 36 bodies.
The ministry emphasized that numerous victims are still trapped under debris or on the streets, inaccessible to civil defense teams and ambulances because of ongoing Israeli airstrikes.
The casualties took place during Eid al-Adha, a major holiday in the Muslim calendar characterized by communal Eid prayers, the traditional sacrifice of animals, and charitable distribution of meat to those in need.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip has escalated to 54,772, predominantly comprising women and children, following the onset of Israeli military operations in the besieged Palestinian territory since October 2023. Additionally, at least 125,834 individuals have sustained injuries.
Medical sources have reported that since the resurgence of hostilities in the Gaza Strip on March 18, a total of 4,497 civilians have lost their lives, with 13,793 individuals sustaining injuries. This escalation follows the breakdown of a two-month ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
Since the breach of the truce agreement by Israel in March, approximately 616,000 individuals have been displaced, with many experiencing multiple dislocations.
