Gaza: As the Israeli war in Gaza enters its 118th day, the situation has intensified with an alarming escalation of Israeli attacks, resulting in severe consequences for the civilian population of Gaza. Despite the International Court’s order to take preventive measures and avoid genocide in Gaza, Israel’s relentless attacks on the civilian population, hospitals, and schools continue, leaving 27,019 people in Gaza martyred and 66,139 injured.
The 118th day of Israel’s war on Gaza witnessed several disturbing events. Over the last 24 hours, the Israeli military carried out 16 “massacres” throughout the Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of 150 individuals and injuring 313 others.
In a shocking event, a mass grave of Palestinians earlier detained by Israel was discovered in northern Gaza. The uncovered graves contained the remains of Palestinian detainees who had been blindfolded and handcuffed.
The situation in Khan Younis escalated with an Israeli bombardment, resulting in casualties after a civilian car was bombed on the main road linking Khan Younis and Rafah.
Furthermore, the Israeli army stormed the courtyard of al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, following a 10-day siege. Meanwhile, Nasser Hospital in the same city remains under siege due to a fuel shortage.
In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli settlers, under police protection, reportedly stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, using inflammatory provocative language. Armed Israeli settlers in the West Bank, injured Palestinian children, assaulted an elderly man and ran over a herd of sheep.
On the other hand, as tensions rise in the Red Sea, the European Union has announced plans to launch a naval mission within three weeks against Houthis.
It is worth noting that the death total toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7 has reached 26,900 killed and 65,949 injured, including 11,000 children and 8,000 women. Around 8,000 Palestinians have been missing under the rubble since October 7, presumably dead. While so far 65,087 people have been injured. More than half of the victims of the barbaric Israeli attacks, both martyred and injured, are children and women. According to UNICEF, more than 10 children a day lose one or both legs in Gaza due to Israeli attacks.
According to a report by Oxfam, Israel’s military is inflicting an average daily death toll of 250 Palestinians in Gaza, marking an unprecedented and deeply troubling escalation of hostilities. This staggering rate, surpasses any recent major conflict, including Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Yemen.
As of January 20, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that over 85% (1.9 Million people) population has been displaced in various areas of Gaza while relentless Israeli bombardment has destroyed over 70% of homes in Gaza.
The UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths has said that “Gaza has simply become uninhabitable”.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry over 350,000 individuals with chronic illnesses are now deprived of access to medications, posing a potential risk of severe health complications
As per UNICEF, the current daily cases of diarrhea among children have surged to nearly 3,200 cases, marking a 2,000 percent since the start of the war.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that 70 percent of healthcare professionals in Gaza have been forced to flee due to violence, at a time when there is most need of their essential services.
