Palestinian deaths in Israel’s war on Gaza rise to 28,576
ANKARA (AA) – The number of Palestinian deaths in Israel’s war on Gaza has jumped to 28,576, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday.
The ministry made the statement as the Israeli deadly onslaught against Gaza entered its 131st day.
It also said 68,291 other people have also been injured in the war.
The statement noted that in the past 24 hours, the Israeli army committed 11 massacres across the Gaza Strip which left 103 people killed and 145 others injured.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads and rescuers can’t reach them,” it added.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since an attack by Hamas in October, in which 1,160 Israelis are believed to have been killed.
The Israeli war on Gaza has pushed 85% of the territory’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which in an interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. Israel continues to ignore the ruling.
