Gaza death toll due to Israeli attacks climbs to 4,137, including 1,524 children
ISTANBUL (AA) – The death toll in Gaza due to Israel’s ongoing bombardment has climbed to 4,137, Health Ministry officials in the besieged enclave said Friday.
The ministry said that 1,524 children, 1,000 woman and 120 elderly people were among the people killed in the Israeli attacks.
The number of injured has risen to 13,300, ministry spokesman Ashraf Qudra told a news conference, adding that over 1,000 others are missing.
At least 16 Palestinian Christians were among those killed in direct Israeli attacks on a Greek Orthodox church Thursday evening in Gaza city.
“Seven hospitals in the Gaza Strip are completely out of service due to Israeli attacks,” said Qudra.
Qudra accused the Israeli army of “committing 37 massacres during the past 24 hours against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 352 deaths and 669 injuries.”
He pointed out that about 70% of the victims of the Israeli aggression on Gaza were children, women and elderly people.
Qudra said they have received 1,400 reports of people missing under the rubble, including 720 children.
The spokesman called on the international community to put a “stop to the Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip.”
