Gaza Faces Aggression… An Unbreakable Stand of Defiance
In a tragic reflection of the ongoing genocidal war, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the bodies of 117 martyrs were recovered and 33 others injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the total toll since the start of the Israeli aggression to 67,802 killed and 170,033 wounded.
Civil Defense: Steadfastness Amid Destruction
The Civil Defense Directorate in Gaza reported the recovery of 15 bodies from the Netsarim area, south of the city, while the number of missing persons is estimated at around 9,500 still trapped under the rubble.
Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said that rescue teams are working around the clock despite the severe shortage of heavy machinery, calling on residents to cooperate and provide any information that could assist ongoing search and rescue operations.
“Reaching some areas is extremely difficult due to the scale of destruction and the collapse of essential services,” Basal stressed.
Infrastructure: Total Devastation Deepening the Crisis
Issam Al-Nabih, spokesperson for Gaza Municipality, reported that over 85% of the city’s infrastructure has been destroyed, with drinkable water becoming extremely scarce. He urged immediate entry of equipment to repair water and sewage stations.
In Khan Younis, the city’s mayor confirmed that 85% of the governorate has been completely damaged, and that the removal of more than 400,000 tons of rubble is urgently needed to revive the city. Around 300 kilometers of water networks and 75% of the sewage system have been destroyed, further worsening the humanitarian and public health crisis.
Ceasefire Agreement: A Glimpse of Hope
A ceasefire agreement has officially come into effect, stipulating a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces, a mutual exchange of prisoners, and the immediate entry of humanitarian aid.
Despite this step, the situation on the ground remains dire, as Gaza continues to suffer from massive destruction and a desperate lack of heavy equipment and emergency assistance. Yet, Palestinians continue to demonstrate that the will to endure is stronger than the machinery of war.
Gaza Stands Unbroken: A People That Cannot Be Defeated
Amid rubble and ruins, under siege and relentless bombardment, the people of Gaza prove that resilience is their identity and resistance their choice.
Every recovered martyr, every repaired water line or cleared road, stands as a testament to their defiance and their will to live with dignity — a clear message to the world that Gaza will never be subdued or surrender, no matter how brutal the aggression.
“Gaza breathes life through the ashes; the voices of its martyrs rise above the roar of bombs.”
This is how its people prove — once again — that victory belongs to the steadfast.
