The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) reported that the occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement by firing heavily east of Khan Younis, while warships continue to fire in the vicinity of Gaza port and the eastern areas of Rafah.
The agency noted that the death toll and injuries since the ceasefire agreement on October 11 has reached 242 martyrs and about 614 wounded, with 522 bodies recovered, and the bodies of 300 received from Israel, 89 of which have been identified so far.
The total number of Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 has risen to 69,169 martyrs and 170,685 wounded.
Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders called for the urgent medical evacuation of thousands of patients unable to access necessary care in Gaza, while the Government Media Office reported that some 12,500 cancer patients in the Strip are at risk of death due to drug shortages. The Ministry of Health explained that 64% of cancer medications have run out, and that early diagnosis and monitoring equipment is unavailable.
According to initial field estimates, more than 90% of the buildings, homes and facilities in the towns east of Khan Younis were completely or partially destroyed and cannot be quickly repaired.
The Ministry of Health also indicated that the shortage of medicine stocks in the sector reached 56%, while the Government Media Office warned that about 350,000 chronic patients are at risk due to the occupation preventing the entry of medicines, and that more than 22,000 patients need treatment abroad, but the occupation prevents them from traveling.
In the same context, the World Health Organization said its medical supplies were ready at the border, and called for the urgent and sustainable reopening of the Rafah crossing and all crossings into Gaza.
The ceasefire agreement halted an Israeli genocidal war on Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, leaving more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 170,000 wounded, most of them children and women, with reconstruction estimated by the United Nations to cost about $70 billion.
