Gaza death toll nears 40,700 as Israel’s relentless attacks continue
ANKARA (AA) – The death toll in Gaza has risen to nearly 40,700 as Israeli forces killed 89 more Palestinians over the past two days, the Gaza Health Ministry reported. The relentless Israeli onslaught, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has also left 94,060 others injured, according to the ministry.
“Israeli forces killed 89 people and injured 205 others in five massacres against families in the last 48 hours,” the ministry said.
Many victims remain trapped under rubble, with rescuers unable to reach them due to the continued bombardment, the ministry said.
Despite a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has persisted with its military campaign in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7.
The situation in Gaza has deteriorated rapidly, with the region suffering from severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine due to an ongoing blockade. Much of Gaza now lies in ruins, and the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen.
According to a study by The Lancet journal last month, the actual number of casualties in Gaza including those that have gone missing, died of starvation or infectious diseases could be more than 186,000 — which is 8% of the entire population of Gaza.
