Gaza death toll from Israeli attacks crosses 24,600
ISTANBUL (AA) – The Palestinian death toll in Israel’s war on Gaza has soared to 24,620, the Health Ministry in the territory said Thursday.
A ministry statement added that 61,830 other people had been injured in Israeli attacks.
“At least 172 people were killed and 326 others injured in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the statement said.
The ministry said its medics had recorded more than 8,000 cases of Hepatitis C among displaced Palestinians due to crowdedness in refugee camps and lack of personal hygiene.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, which Tel Aviv claims killed nearly 1,140 people.
According to the UN, around 85% of Gazans have been displaced by the Israeli onslaught, all of them food insecure. Hundreds of thousands of people are living without shelter.
