At least 200 people have been killed in the attack by the Israeli army (IDF) in the Gaza Strip in the last three days. According to international media, most of the dead were women and children.
The Palestinian Hamas-run communications office said the group had carried out 94 airstrikes and shelling. It is reported that dozens were injured in the attack. The IDF has said that the IDF has targeted Gaza and targeted unarmed civilians and residential areas in a 'dangerous and brutal' attack.
Most of those who lost their lives and were injured were trapped in the debris and due to the damaged infrastructure, it was difficult to take them to the hospital.
After the Palestinian group Hamas attacked northern Israel on October 7, 2023, the war between the two sides started. At least 1200 people died in the attack. In addition, Hamas took about 250 hostages. 96 of them are still under the control of Hamas.
More than 45,000 Palestinians have died due to the war. More than one third of the dead are children. According to Palestinian officials, the number of children killed since October 7 is 18,000. This means that one child dies every 30 minutes.
There have been efforts for a ceasefire agreement between the two sides for a few weeks now, with the mediation of the US, Qatar and Egypt. It was said that the talks held in Doha, Qatar and Cairo, Egypt are about to reach an agreement. But the recent attack has added to the concern that the atmosphere of negotiations will be disturbed.
