Israeli Strikes in Gaza Result in 24 More Deaths Amid Rising Toll.

Gaza City: At least 24 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 43,736, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Thursday. According to Anadolu Agency, a ministry statement added that some 103,370 others were injured in the ongoing assault. The statement highlighted that the Israeli occupation has committed three massacres of families in the last 24 hours, resulting in 24 deaths and 112 injuries. Many people remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescue teams are unable to reach them. The Israeli army has continued its offensive on the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire. The ongoing Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory, exacerbating severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine due to the blockade. Mediation efforts led by the US, Egypt, and Qatar to reach a Gaza cease-fire and prisone r swap agreement between Israel and Hamas have failed, attributed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to halt the war. Additionally, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
