Palestinians in Gaza suffer casualty every 90 minutes since October ceasefire, charity reports
Islamic Relief says a Palestinian has been killed or wounded in Gaza on average every 90 minutes since the ceasefire announced in October. The charity reports at least 1,454 deaths and over 5,000 injuries, including 320 children.
Islamic Relief, a UK-based aid group, reports that since the ceasefire announced in October, a Palestinian in Gaza has been killed or injured on average every 90 minutes. Their figures show at least 1,454 fatalities and more than 5,000 injuries, with 320 of the dead being children. Gaza's Health Ministry cites 1,471 deaths and 5,189 wounded, adding that four people were killed and 28 injured in the previous day.
The charity says Israel has used the so-called Yellow Line to force residents out of 65% of Gaza, concentrating roughly 2.1 million people into the remaining 35%. An unnamed aid worker described ongoing targeting of displacement camps and crowded areas, while Israel continues to block shelter materials, fuel and medical supplies. Damage assessments indicate 82% of structures are destroyed or damaged, over half of health services have ceased, and more than 20,000 severely ill patients are denied treatment abroad. Islamic Relief urges the international community to increase pressure to protect civilians and enforce international law.
