GAZA, January 1, 2025 (WAFA) – The death toll of the ongoing Israeli genocidal aggression on the Gaza Strip Wednesday surged to 45,553, according to medical sources.
They said that the toll of the victims of the Israeli genocidal aggression on the Strip climbed to 45,553, mostly children and women, while the total number of casualties rose to 108,379.
They added that the occupation forces committed two massacres against families in the Strip in the last 24 hours, with 12 victims and 41 casualties rushed to hospitals.
Israel has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
At least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
