Since dawn on Tuesday, the Gaza Strip has faced relentless Israeli bombardment, killing dozens of civilians amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation and a rapid collapse of hospital capacity.
According to medical sources, 46 people were killed between midnight and 10 a.m. 32 bodies were received at Al-Shifa Hospital, 4 at Sheikh Radwan Clinic, 4 at Al-Awda Hospital, 1 at Al-Aqsa Hospital, 5 at Nasser Hospital, while no fatalities were reported at Al-Baptist Hospital during this time.
Medical teams confirmed they are operating under dangerous conditions, with continuing attacks on health infrastructure and severe shortages in life-saving equipment.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has resulted in 63,557 deaths, mostly women and children, 160,660 injuries, many critical or severe.
These figures are not final, as many victims remain under rubble or in unreachable areas due to continuous airstrikes.
What is happening in Gaza meets the definition of genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. This includes mass killing of civilians, systematic targeting of hospitals and shelters, prevention of access to food, water, and medicine.
Such acts constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions, which oblige warring parties to distinguish between civilians and combatants and to protect medical and relief facilities.
As the siege and attacks continue, Gaza’s civilians remain trapped by death, starvation, and the denial of medical care, while the international community fails to act. The tragedy unfolding is not only a humanitarian disaster but also a test of the global legal system’s credibility in the face of one of the most egregious crimes against humanity in modern history.
