A week of war leaves the Gaza Strip in further mourning. Fighting continues in the south of the enclave, in Khan Younes, where tank fire against a shelter of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) left 13 dead on Wednesday January 24. Already displaced by the fighting that has been raging for fifteen weeks, Gazans have had to flee Israeli fire once again.
Further north, in Gaza City, 20 Palestinians were killed and 150 others injured in an Israeli strike while they were in line to receive food aid, according to the Health Ministry of the Islamist movement.
On the Israeli side, the army recorded its heaviest losses on Monday since October 7 with 24 soldiers killed in one day, the majority of whom were reservists.
Hamas reported on Friday 183 deaths in the last 24 hours and indicated that 26,083 people have been killed and 64,487 others injured since the start of the conflict.
A heavy human toll illustrated here by Kap (Jaume Capdevila): under his pencil, even the “grim reaper” seems overwhelmed by the number of deaths.
