Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 60,200 Amid Ongoing Conflict

Gaza: At least 60,249 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the Health Ministry. A ministry statement reported that 111 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 820 people were injured, increasing the total number of injuries to 147,089.

According to Anadolu Agency, many victims remain trapped under rubble and on roads, as rescuers face significant challenges in reaching them. The Health Ministry also reported that 91 Palestinians were killed and over 666 injured while attempting to obtain humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 1,330, with 8,818 others wounded since May 27.

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18, resulting in the deaths of 9,071 people and injuries to 34,853 others, effectively ending a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that had been in place since January. On Monday, Israeli rights groups B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, highlighting the systematic destruction of Palestinian society and the dismantling of the territory's healthcare system.

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