Even on the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, the Israeli military’s relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip have left a trail of devastation. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 97 Palestinians were killed and 440 others injured in Israeli airstrikes over the past 24 hours. Many victims remain trapped under rubble, and the actual casualty toll could be higher due to ongoing rescue challenges.
As the Muslim world prepares to celebrate Eid, the people of Gaza are grappling with death and despair caused by Israeli aggression. The Health Ministry reports that since the conflict escalated in October 2023, over 54,607 Palestinians have been killed and 125,341 injured.
Israeli forces resumed intense attacks on Gaza since March 18, following the collapse of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in January. Areas like Rafah and Khan Younis, where millions of displaced people have sought refuge, have faced heavy bombardment. The UN’s human rights agency, OCHA, has described Rafah as a “pressure cooker of despair.”
The Gaza Health Ministry stated, “Many victims are still trapped under debris, and rescuers are unable to reach them due to security constraints.” Additionally, Israeli restrictions have nearly halted humanitarian aid deliveries, leading to acute shortages of food and medicine.
The UN relief agency, UNRWA, reported that aid distribution centers in Gaza have become “death traps.” A recent Israeli strike on one such center reportedly killed at least 31 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel’s assaults continue unabated. Instead of preparing for Eid prayers or festivities, Gazans are arranging funerals for their loved ones. The international community has been urged to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
