Islamabad, 11 Oct 2023:Israel has initiated the mobilization of 360,000 reservists, potentially preceding a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip, where the prevailing situation teeters on the brink with hospitals grappling with dwindling supplies and an imminent power blackout looming, according to a press release by MOIB. Concurrently, enduring airstrikes have reduced entire city blocks to rubble, with the resultant debris concealing an undetermined number of casualties.

The ministry’s statement further elucidates that of the 1,078 recorded fatalities, 1,055 occurred in Gaza. The intricate and multifaceted conflict continues to unfold, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis while global spectators observe with escalating concern and trepidation.
