Ahram Online , Thursday 20 Mar 2025

At least 710 Palestinians have been killed and over 900 injured in Gaza since Israel resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on Tuesday, spokesperson for the Health Ministry in Gaza Khalil al-Daqran said on Thursday.

Al-Daqran highlighted that many of the injured have died as a result of being unable to receive urgent medical care due to a severe shortage of essential medical supplies and equipment, as reported by Al Jazeera.

He also stated that 70% of the casualties are women and children, with most of them suffering from severe injuries.

Israel bombarded Gaza and pressed its ground operations on Thursday.

The renewed offensive shattered a relative calm that had pervaded since truce took hold mid-January.

Inhumane ordeals

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) decried on Thursday "an endless unleashing of the most inhumane ordeals" on the people of Gaza after Israel renewed deadly air stikes and ground operations in the territory.

"Israeli Forces bombardment continues from air & sea for the third day," Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X. "Under our daily watch, people in Gaza are again & again going through their worst nightmare."
