عدد الضحايا المدنيين في غزة يتجاوز عتبة الـ 25.000
January 22, 2024 - قُتل أكثر من 25.000 فلسطيني في الحرب الإسرائيلية على غزة، وأصيب أكثر من 62.680 آخرين بجروح، بحسب تصريحات وزارة الصحة في القطاع غزة.
The ministry’s figures are mainly deemed accurate by the UN but do not differentiate between militants and civilians.
Twenty-five thousand people, equivalent to 1% of the 2,300,000 population of Gaza, means more than 234 people have died every day.
Meanwhile, talks over the release of 136 hostages in Gaza remain at an impasse over Hamas’ demand for a permanent cease-fire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing growing pressure at home and abroad to agree to a cease-fire deal. Israeli officials say at least 195 soldiers have been killed so far during the Gaza war.
On Monday, a group of hostage’s relatives stormed a parliamentary committee session at Israel’s Knesset to demand more action to secure the release of their loved ones.
“We came here because we can’t live anymore,” Gil Dickmann, the cousin of hostage Carmel Gat, said. “Our life stopped. The parliament must stop everything and bring all the hostages home.”
Netanyahu, who is also facing pressure from members of his war Cabinet to agree to a deal, dismissed the idea of a Palestinian state last night in a break with U.S. President Joe Biden.
