Volker Türk, the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the tragic loss of over 40,000 lives in Gaza as a significant humanitarian crisis. He attributed this devastation to the ongoing Israeli military operations, which have reportedly resulted in daily fatalities and widespread displacement of the Palestinian population.
The Gaza Health Ministry, under Hamas, reported that the death toll continues to rise amidst the chaos of war, with hospitals overwhelmed and many bodies still trapped under rubble. As international mediators engage in negotiations for a ceasefire, tensions remain high, particularly concerning the hostages taken during the conflict.
