Gaza: Palestinian medics retrieved the bodies of 120 people from under the rubble in Gaza, pushing the overall death toll from Israel's war since October 2023 to 47,283, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.
According to Anadolu Agency, a ministry statement added that 306 injured people were also transferred to hospitals in the last 24 hours, taking the number of injuries to 111,472 in the Israeli onslaught. The statement highlighted that many people remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads, as rescuers are unable to reach them.
The first six-week phase of a ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on Jan. 19, halting Israel's war on the enclave. The Israeli onslaught has left more than 11,000 people missing, with widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis impacting many elderly people and children.
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. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
