Death Toll from Israel’s Attacks on Gaza Rises Again Amid Global Outcry

Israeli forces continued their deadly assault on Gaza early Tuesday. Medical sources confirmed Israeli attacks killed at least 56 Palestinians since early morning.

Israeli strikes killed at least 50 people in northern Gaza alone. In the south, Israeli forces pounded Khan Younis. Relentless airstrikes and shelling buried entire families under rubble.

The assaults overwhelmed hospitals.

Ambulances struggle to reach the injured due to blocked roads and ongoing bombardment. Gaza’s health system, already crippled, is collapsing.

UN official delivers scathing remarks

Tom Fletcher, the UN’s top humanitarian coordinator, delivered a powerful speech at the Security Council. His words echoed frustration and urgency.

He accused Israel of deliberately creating inhumane conditions in Gaza. “Israel is deliberately and unashamedly imposing inhumane conditions on people in occupied Palestinian territory,” he told the council.

Fletcher’s remarks marked one of the strongest condemnations yet by a UN official.

Genocide under ICJ review

Fletcher reminded the council that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is reviewing whether genocide is occurring in Gaza.

“The ICJ is considering whether a genocide is taking place in Gaza,” he said. “It will weigh the testimony we have shared. But it will be too late.”

The ICJ has already issued provisional measures. These measures aim to prevent further harm. But, Fletcher said, they have not been implemented.

Comparisons to past failures

He compared the current crisis to past global failures. Fletcher cited reports on Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Srebrenica, and Rwanda. In all these cases, the UN failed to act in time.

He warned that history may repeat itself. “So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced, what more evidence do you need now?” he asked.

Call for immediate action

Fletcher challenged the international community. “Will you act decisively to prevent genocide and ensure respect for international humanitarian law?” he demanded.

He warned against excuses. “Years from now, people will be asking, ‘What did you do to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza?’ Saying ‘we did all we could’ won’t be enough.”

Mounting civilian suffering

Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. Entire neighborhoods have been wiped out. Food, water, and medicine are scarce. Over 70% of Gaza’s population has been displaced.

Global calls for a ceasefire grow louder. But the violence shows no sign of ending.

With every passing day, the death toll rises. So does the international outrage.

As the world watches, Gaza bleeds.
