Gaza city: At least 60,430 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Saturday. A ministry statement reported that 98 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 1,079 people were injured, increasing the total number of injuries to 148,722.
According to Anadolu Agency, many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them. The ministry also reported that 39 individuals were killed and 849 injured while attempting to obtain aid, raising the death toll of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 1,422, with over 10,067 others wounded since May 27, when the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operations.
The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18, abandoning a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that had been in place since January. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Furthermore, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
