Gaza: Gaza's death toll from Israel's war since October 2023 has reached 48,524 as more bodies of Palestinians were found in the rubble, the Health Ministry said on Thursday. A ministry statement indicated that the toll included seven bodies retrieved from the rubble and two people killed by Israeli army fire in the last 24 hours.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ministry reported that 14 more injured Palestinians were transferred to hospitals, increasing the number of injuries to 111,955 in the Israeli onslaught. The ministry noted that many victims remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers struggle to reach them.

A ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since January 19, halting the Israeli war that has caused destruction and left the Palestinian enclave in ruins. Despite the ceasefire, local authorities in Gaza have reported almost daily ceasefire violations by the Israeli army.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November last year 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.
