Gaza Death Toll Nears 46,600 Amid Israel’s Genocidal War

Gaza: At least 19 more Palestinians were killed in unabated Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October 2023 to 46,584, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Monday.

According to Anadolu Agency, a ministry statement added that some 109,731 others were injured in the ongoing assault. The statement reported that Israeli forces killed 19 people and injured 71 others in two massacres of families in the last 24 hours. It also highlighted the challenges faced by rescuers, as many people remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads, with rescuers unable to reach them.

Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip 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.

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Additionally, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
