As genocide in Gaza continues by Israel, the death toll has reached 31,645 Palestinians due to Israel’s recent military actions in the Gaza Strip, the health ministry of Gaza said on Monday.

The ministry stated that at least 61 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli bombardment, contributing to the escalating death toll.

Amidst the violence, Israeli media reports indicated that an Israeli delegation is set to engage in talks in Doha regarding a potential ceasefire and the release of prisoners held by Hamas.

The situation in Gaza has worsened due to over five months of conflict and an ongoing Israeli blockade, resulting in severe humanitarian crises. The United Nations has repeatedly warned of the looming threat of famine for the 2.4 million people living in the coastal territory.

Due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, every facet of life there has faced utter destruction. The local healthcare system has crumbled as Israel has declared an “unrelenting war” on the health system in Gaza, rendering it incapable of delivering essential care to the injured, sick individuals, and everyday patients.

Educational pursuits have been severely disrupted, with Israeli attacks causing complete destruction to 95 schools and universities, and partial damage to 295 others, as reported by the Government Media Office in Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes destroyed 145 mosques, while another 243 were partially damaged. Three churches have been destroyed by Israeli attacks, along with numerous archaeological and historical sites, as well as significant cultural landmarks, contributing to the erasure of Palestinian history and life throughout Gaza.
