More than 110,000 Palestinians injured in Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry says
GAZA — At least 61 more Palestinians were killed in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, pushing up the overall death toll since October 2023 to 46,645, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Tuesday.
A ministry statement added that some 110,012 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 61 people and injured 281 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.
Israel has continued a genocidal war on Gaza since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November 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 Gaza. — AA
