Gaza Death Toll Exceeds 53,900 as Israel Kills 79 More Palestinians

Nearly 122,600 Palestinians injured in Israeli assault since October 2023, Health Ministry says

GAZA — At least 53,901 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Saturday.

A ministry statement said that 79 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 211 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 122,593 in the Israeli onslaught.

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

The Israeli army resumed its assaults on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 3,747 people and injured nearly 10,600 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. — AA
