Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 46,000 Amid Conflict

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in a staggering death toll, with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting over 46,000 fatalities and nearly 110,000 injuries since October 2023. Recent Israeli airstrikes have continued to cause significant civilian casualties, with 70 people killed in a 24-hour period, raising concerns about humanitarian conditions as hospitals are overwhelmed and basic supplies are critically low. Despite diplomatic efforts by US and Arab mediators towards a ceasefire, no agreement has been finalized. The Israeli military claims to target militants while attempting to minimize civilian harm, although Amnesty International has criticized these actions. As the situation remains dire, international calls for ceasefire and aid access grow amid accusations of war crimes against Israeli leadership. Meanwhile, nearly 100 hostages are reported to be still in Gaza, and the conflict continues to escalate with regional implications.
