Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least 52,567 Palestinians since October 2023, with an additional 32 fatalities reported in the last 24 hours, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ongoing conflict has also led to 118,610 injuries, with many victims still trapped under rubble and inaccessible to rescuers.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated due to a prolonged Israeli blockade, now in its ninth week, which has blocked essential supplies such as food, water, medicine, and fuel. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has described the situation as 'beyond imagination' and urged international action to prevent further deterioration. The International Court of Justice is currently assessing whether the blockade violates international law.

Reports indicate that at least 57 Palestinians have died from starvation due to the blockade, with children being particularly vulnerable. Over 1.1 million children lack minimum daily nutrition, and more than 9,000 children have been admitted for treatment of acute malnutrition. The blockade has also led to severe malnutrition among over 70,000 children, and around 290,000 children are on the brink of death, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe in the region. Since dawn on Monday, 63 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks.
