Gaza Death Toll Tops 59,100 as Israeli War on Palestinians Continues Unabated

Gaza: At least 59,106 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry reported on Tuesday. A ministry statement indicated that 77 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 376 people were injured, increasing the total number of injuries to 142,511 during the Israeli offensive.

According to Anadolu Agency, many victims remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers face difficulties reaching them. The Health Ministry also reported that five Palestinians were killed and over 52 injured while attempting to obtain humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 1,026, with over 6,563 others wounded since May 27.

The Israeli military resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18, resulting in 8,268 deaths and 30,470 injuries, effectively shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that had been in place since January.

In a move last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant due to accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Additionally, Israel is currently facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the enclave.
