The Gaza Health Ministry on July 30 released updated figures showing that the total death toll from the prolonged conflict has reached 72,938 since the start of the war, including both civilians and combatants.
In addition, the number of wounded has reached a high of 169,778 cases. The majority of victims are women and children, accounting for about 70% of total fatalities.
Hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza are severely overwhelmed, lacking medicines, equipment, and fuel to operate. The health system faces the risk of complete collapse as fighting continues.
The United Nations and many international humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire to facilitate humanitarian aid, but no long-term truce has been reached so far. The international community continues to closely monitor the situation as more countries condemn the level of destruction and civilian casualties in Gaza.
