WHO Counts 42,000 Life‑Altering Injuries in Gaza as Activist Fleet Sails and U.S. Pursues Ceasefire Talks

New WHO figures spotlight the humanitarian toll that is propelling U.S. ceasefire diplomacy.

Overview

  • WHO reported about 42,000 people in Gaza have sustained serious, life‑changing injuries since October 2023, with one in four of the injured being children.
  • The U.S. has released a roughly 20‑item plan for a Gaza ceasefire that includes phased Israeli withdrawal and proposals for interim governance.
  • The White House press secretary said very delicate discussions are underway over conditions tied to the plan, signaling negotiations that could involve Hamas.
  • An international “Global Solidarity Fleet” is sailing toward Gaza carrying food and medical supplies in a self‑described nonviolent effort to open a sea route.
  • Coverage cites more than 65,000 Palestinian deaths since the conflict’s escalation, underscoring the scale of civilian harm driving activism and diplomacy.
