Gaza death toll nears 45,600 as Israel kills 28 more Palestinians

The ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 28 more Palestinians in the last 24 hours, bringing the total death toll since October 2023 to 45,581, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Over 108,000 others have been injured during the assults.

At least 28 more Palestinians were killed in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October 2023 to 45,581, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Thursday.

A ministry statement added that some 108,438 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 28 people and injured 59 others in two massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.

The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
