ANKARA: A ministry statement added that some 96,794 others were injured in the ongoing assault. 'Israeli forces killed 99 people and injured 169 others in eight massacres of families in the last 24 hours,' the ministry said. 'Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,' it added. Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on last Oct. 7. The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. Israel also faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza. Source: Anadolu Agency
