On October 7, local time, a new round of conflict broke out between Palestine and Israel, and the conflict is still ongoing. As of the 23rd, this round of conflict between Palestine and Israel has killed more than 6,500 people on both sides.

According to information released by the Palestinian health department on the 23rd local time, this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in 5,182 Palestinian deaths, including more than 5,087 deaths and more than 15,000 injuries in the Gaza Strip; 95 deaths and more than 1,800 injuries in the West Bank.

According to the Jerusalem Post, citing data from the Israeli Ministry of Health, as of the afternoon of the 18th local time, more than 1,400 Israelis and foreigners had died in Israel.

As of the evening of the 23rd, according to statistics from the Egyptian Red Crescent Society, 55 trucks carrying aid supplies had entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Port on the 23rd. However, the local fuel shortage in Gaza has not been alleviated.

Due to a lack of fuel and the continued intensification of Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip, Gaza’s medical system is currently on the verge of collapse.

Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) issued a statement on the 22nd saying that UNRWA’s fuel will be exhausted within three days. Lazzarini stressed that without fuel, the hospital cannot function normally, and the agency cannot provide humanitarian assistance to those in urgent need. (Produced by Ma Yuxuan)
