The Israeli war machine continues its systematic genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip, now entering its second year. The campaign involves mass killings, starvation, forced displacement, and the destruction of vital infrastructure, erasing the foundations of life itself.
On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of Palestinians killed since 7 October 2023 has risen to 62,064, with 156,573 wounded. In the past 24 hours alone, 60 people were killed, two of whom were pulled from the rubble, and 343 injured, all amid a collapsing healthcare system and dire shortages of medicine and supplies.
Since the Israeli occupation intensified its offensive on 18 March 2025, 10,518 people have been killed and 44,532 injured.
The ministry also reported a sharp increase in casualties among those waiting for humanitarian aid, with nearly 2,000 dead and over 14,898 injured since 27 May 2025, largely due to what many Palestinians now call “death traps”, targeted attacks near unauthorized aid drop points operated without UN oversight.
Beyond the staggering death toll, over 9,000 individuals are missing, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people remain in squalid camps or out in the open. Famine has already claimed 266 lives, including 112 children, due to the ongoing closure of crossings and the blockade of humanitarian aid.
This catastrophe cannot be dismissed as mere “military operations” or “armed conflict.” What is unfolding in Gaza is a full-scale genocide, marked by deliberate targeting of civilians, deprivation of food and medicine, destruction of homes, and forced displacement.
The daily surge in fatalities, the accumulation of corpses in hospitals, and the absence of safe humanitarian corridors point to an intent to obliterate an entire population. This is a direct violation of international humanitarian law, especially the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit attacks on civilians and require protection of life and dignity in wartime.
The figures coming out of Gaza are not just statistics, they are evidence of a historic crime, taking place in full view of a silent international community. This silence risks validating a calculated attempt to uproot a people from their land and extinguish their right to life.
