Here’s the translation to American English:
The levels of suffering in Gaza continue to rise, severely impacting the lives of thousands of people, especially the most vulnerable: children. According to an alarming report from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 10,000 minors have sustained injuries that could lead to lifelong consequences due to the intensified crisis caused by recent bombings.
The Gaza Ministry of Health has reported a chilling figure of 429 Palestinians killed and 1,556 injured just in the past week. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, the total number of casualties has surpassed 66,000, a figure that resonates painfully within the international community. The World Health Organization (WHO) has echoed its concern over the high number of people who have suffered severe injuries, highlighting that more than 42,000 residents of the Gaza Strip have been left with permanent disabilities. Of these, nearly a quarter are children, reflecting a devastating impact on the future of childhood in the region. More than 5,000 people have suffered amputations, according to statements from Dr. Rik Peeperkorn of WHO.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is becoming increasingly critical, with residents stripped of their livelihoods, further exacerbating the suffering of the civilian population. The international community watches with growing alarm at the scale of this catastrophe, while humanitarian organizations are forced to suspend their operations due to the intensification of fighting and lack of security. The situation demands an urgent and coordinated response to alleviate suffering and provide assistance to those who need it most.
