Israeli attacks in Gaza continue: UN appeals for ceasefire as civilian casualties mount

Gaza City:  The Palestine Red Crescent Society has raised alarms over Israeli attacks in close proximity to al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City, emphasizing the profound impact on displaced civilians and health workers.

The ongoing violence in the region has sparked fear and panic, escalating the humanitarian crisis.

Reports of relentless bombardments persist across the besieged territory, even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected international calls for an immediate ceasefire. The situation remains dire, with hospitals in Gaza facing continuous threats.

The Indonesia Hospital in Gaza reported a third strike in its vicinity early on Tuesday, further straining the already overwhelmed healthcare system. This came mere hours after the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital suffered damage and injuries due to an Israeli attack. The perilous conditions extend to other medical facilities, with Israeli air raids also reported near Gaza’s European Hospital.

The international community is increasingly concerned, as UN officials appeal to the United Nations Security Council for a ceasefire to end the relentless bloodshed. The head of UNICEF has issued a stark warning, revealing that over 420 children are killed or injured in Gaza every day, underscoring the devastating human toll of the conflict.

Since October 7, Israeli attacks in Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 8,306 Palestinians, leaving the region in a state of despair and anguish. On the Israeli side, more than 1,400 people have lost their lives, deepening the tragedy of this prolonged and devastating conflict.
