Israeli attacks kill 50 more Palestinians in Gaza as death toll surpasses 40,200
ANKARA (AA) – At least 50 more Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, pushing up the overall death toll since last October 7 to 40,223, the Health Ministry in the war-torn enclave has said.
A ministry statement added that some 92,981 others have been injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 50 people and injured 124 others in four ‘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.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, killing mostly women, minors and children.
Over 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
