Gaza death toll passes 57,400 amid Israel’s genocidal war

At least 57,418 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.

 

A ministry statement said that 80 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 304 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 136,261 in the Israeli onslaught.

 

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

 

The ministry also noted that eight Palestinians were killed and over 40 injured while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 751, with over 4,931 others wounded since May 27.

 

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 6,860 people and injured 24,220 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
