The situation in the Middle East is heating up, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to escalate, which has already caused huge casualties. So far, at least 9,816 people have been killed in clashes between the two sides. At the same time, one of the events that has attracted widespread attention is the death of Shani Luq, a girl held by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
As the devastation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to grow, people in the Gaza Strip are forced to bathe and wash their clothes in the sea on the beaches of Deir al-Balah because of the continuing water shortage. The scene was reported by Qatar's Al Jazeera on October 29 local time.
More than 8,306 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, including 3,457 children, since the start of the current round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to the Gaza Strip health department. In addition, at least 21,048 people were injured. These figures illustrate the magnitude of the impact of the conflict on the people of the Gaza Strip.
According to the Turkish News Agency, citing the Palestinian Ministry of Health, as of the 27th local time, at least 110 people were killed and more than 1,900 injured in the West Bank. This data reveals the extent of the spread of the conflict, affecting a wider region.
On the Israeli side, according to the Jerusalem Post, citing data from the Israeli Ministry of Health, as of the afternoon of the 18th, more than 1,400 Israelis and foreigners have been killed in the conflict. This figure shows that Israel has also suffered huge casualties and losses.
Even more distressing is the discovery of Shani Luke's body in the Gaza Strip. The 23-year-old girl, who is a dual German and Israeli citizen, was allegedly abducted by Hamas at a music festival. At the moment, her body has not been returned to her homeland, and Hamas has not responded to this.
The situation in the Middle East as a whole is worrying, and the scale of casualties and destruction in the conflict has exceeded imagination. This is not just a local conflict, but involves the interests of many countries and peoples. How to find a peaceful solution has become an urgent task for all parties.
Finally, let's consider the question: how should we work together to promote peace and stability in a world full of violence and conflict?
