Genocide in Gaza: Death toll surges to 45,717 martyrs
The health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that the Israeli army committed four massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, and killed and injured at least 332 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
In a statement, the health ministry explained 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 59 martyrs and 273 wounded citizens arrived at hospitals.
The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks climbed to 45,717 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 108,856 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, 2023.
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)
