The health ministry in Gaza said on Monday that the Israeli occupation army committed two massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 10 civilians and injuring over 73 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
In a statement, the health ministry said that the Israeli army killed and injured a large number of civilians in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, but at least 83 of them, including 10 martyrs, were transported to hospitals.
The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, climbed to 37,347 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 85,372 people.
The Gaza Strip has been under brutal bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7.
Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities. (ILKHA)
