23-03-2025 14:15|The death toll in Gaza has officially exceeded 50,000 since the Israeli Occupation assault began in October 2023, according to Gazan health authorities.
The grim milestone comes as airstrikes and ground operations continue to devastate the besieged enclave, with thousands still missing under the rubble.
Medical officials warn that the true number could be even higher, as many bodies remain unrecovered due to ongoing bombardment and restricted access to affected areas. The humanitarian crisis deepens with hospitals overwhelmed, food supplies dwindling, and over a million displaced.
International calls for a ceasefire have intensified, but no resolution has been reached.
