Israel Kills 27 More Gazans as Death Toll Reaches 43,340

More than 102,100 Palestinians injured in Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry says

GAZA — At least 27 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 43,341, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Sunday.

A ministry statement added that some 102,105 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 27 people and injured 86 others in four massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

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

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

Mediation efforts led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar to reach a Gaza cease-fire and prisoner swap agreement between Israel and Hamas have failed over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to halt the war.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza. — AA
