Gaza's Living Hell: Day 70 of Conflict Sees Rising Casualties and Urgent Calls for Ceasefire
It's been 70 days since the conflict between Israel and Palestine erupted on October 7, and the situation is intensifying. According to the Gaza-based Health Ministry, a heartbreaking number of at least 18,608 Palestinians have lost their lives, and 50,594 others have been wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza. 💔
Just this Thursday, Palestinian media reported that 27 civilians were killed when Israeli forces bombarded two houses in Rafah. The violence continues to escalate, leaving families devastated and communities in ruins.
On the other side, the Israeli army announced on Wednesday that it had targeted more than 250 locations in Gaza in the past 24 hours. Since ground battles began on October 27, a total of 115 Israeli soldiers have been killed, highlighting the heavy toll on both sides.
The international community is taking notice. At the 2023 Global Refugee Forum in Geneva this Wednesday, a top UN official described Gaza as \"a living hell,\" urging for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. The call for peace is louder than ever. 🕊️
As the conflict rages on, the world watches with a heavy heart. Let's hope for a swift resolution and peace for the people caught in the crossfire. ✌️
