A terrible toll. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war with Israel, the Hamas government’s Health Ministry announced on Thursday, August 15. At least 40 people have died in the last 24 hours, the ministry added in a statement, specifying that 92,401 Palestinians have been injured in the Gaza Strip since October 7. Franceinfo is not able to verify these tolls from an independent source.
This is a “dark stage for the whole world”reacted the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk. “On average, around 130 people have been killed every day in Gaza over the past ten months. The scale of the destruction of homes, hospitals, schools and places of worship by the Israeli army is deeply shocking.”the latter said in a statement.
“As the world reflects and sees its powerlessness to prevent this carnage, I urge all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire, lay down their arms and stop this killing once and for all.”he asked, asTalks began in Qatar on Thursday for a truce between Israel and Hamas.
