The toll of the Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip exceeds 70,000 martyrs.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that the number of martyrs due to the Israeli genocide has reached 70,103 martyrs and 170,985 injuries since October 7, 2023.

The ministry stated that "3 martyrs and 2 injuries arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, while a number of victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, as rescue and civil defense teams are still unable to reach them at this moment."

It clarified that since the ceasefire on November 11, the number of martyrs has reached 356, with a total of 908 injuries, in addition to the presence of the bodies of 6-7 martyrs.

The ministry spoke about the difficult challenges that hinder the continued provision of specialized care for eye patients in the Gaza Strip, most notably the damage to diagnostic and surgical equipment, which has exacerbated the difficulty of surgical interventions and increased waiting times for operations.

The ministry confirmed that the pharmaceutical supplies for eye services are very limited and do not meet urgent needs, and the shortage of specialized medications for eye patients has doubled their acute and chronic suffering.

It added that there are 4,000 patients suffering from elevated eye pressure "glaucoma" who are at risk of losing their sight due to a lack of treatment and limited surgical procedures, calling on all relevant parties to urgently intervene to provide diagnostic equipment and specialized medications for eye patients.
