💔 The ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict has reached its 70th day, with devastating casualties on both sides. According to the Gaza-based Health Ministry, at least 18,608 Palestinians have lost their lives, and 50,594 have been injured since the violence erupted on October 7.
Just this Thursday, Israeli forces intensified their attacks, bombing two houses in Rafah and claiming the lives of 27 civilians, as reported by Palestinian media. The Israeli army has been relentless, targeting over 250 locations in Gaza within the last 24 hours alone.
On the Israeli side, the conflict has also taken a heavy toll. Since the start of ground battles in Gaza on October 27, 115 Israeli soldiers have been killed.
Amidst the chaos, a top UN official addressed the 2023 Global Refugee Forum in Geneva, describing Gaza as \"a living hell\" and urgently calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. 🕊️
As the international community watches closely, the hope for peace remains elusive, and the human cost continues to climb. Stay tuned for more updates on this tragic situation. 🌍
