In a heartbreaking report that reveals a tragic reality in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced a shocking rise in the number of martyrs who have fallen as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression for the past five months. The death toll has reached over 31,500 martyrs, and these numbers include tragic stories of families who have lost their loved ones and innocent children.

On the 162nd day of the aggression, the number of martyrs rose to 31,553, and the number of injuries reached 73,546 during the period from October 7th until today. This indicates the immense destruction that has befallen the region and the devastating impact on the civilian population, especially innocent children who suffer from the consequences of this continuous violence.

The Israeli aggression has not ceased to commit brutal massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip. Seven massacres were recorded in the past 24 hours, resulting in the martyrdom of 63 people and the injury of 112 others. These tragic events embody the reality of indiscriminate killing and cruelty inflicted upon the innocent in this besieged area.

But the destruction is not limited to lives alone; the crisis of malnutrition among children in the northern Gaza Strip has worsened dramatically. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has shown that 31% of children under the age of two suffer from acute malnutrition, meaning one in every three children is affected by this devastating crisis. This number represents a horrific increase compared to the previous figure of 15.6% in the previous month, highlighting the worsening humanitarian situation and food crisis in the region.

The impact of war and ongoing restrictions on aid delivery is clearly reflected in the health of children. Malnutrition has spread significantly, and cases of hunger and food shortages among children have increased. Palestinian families struggle to access essential food items and medical supplies due to the Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.
