The ceasefire agreement was announced on January 15 to halt war in Gaza after nearly 15 months of suffering and violence that led to the killing of more than 46,899 Palestinian people by the Israeli occupation forces. The agreement was reached after tireless efforts exerted by the Egyptian, American, and Qatari mediation.

 

Egypt has opened the registration for doctors who wish to volunteer to treat the wounded and injured as a result of the Israeli aggression inside the Gaza Strip, announced Head of the Egyptian Doctors Syndicate Osama Abdel-Hay on Sunday.

 

“This initiative is part of the effort to compile lists of the required medical specialties, in line with the humanitarian and medical responsibilities that Egyptian doctors bear in supporting their Palestinian brothers,” he said in a press statement.

 

He noted that more than 2,000 are ready to volunteer and enter Gaza to treat the wounded. 

 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Saturday that three new Israeli massacres took place in Gaza, raising the number of martyrs to 46,899 hours before the ceasefire deal starts in hours. Meanwhile, the number of the injured people rose to 110,725 Palestinians since the outbreak of the Israel war on the besieged strip.

 

The Ministry said previously that that a total of 4,500 Palestinians suffer from amputations of upper or lower limbs in the Strip since the beginning of the war, including about 800 children and 540 women.

 

Meanwhile, Israeli army announced on January 13, 2025 that 840 soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the war, 405 of them since the beginning of the ground offensive in Gaza.
