GAZA — At least 67 Palestinians were killed and 361 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide in the region, the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported citing medical sources.
Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 53,339 fatalities, with an additional 121,043 people sustaining injuries.
The majority of the victims are women and children.
According to the same sources, the death toll since Israel’s resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 3,193, in addition to 8,993 others injured.
Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the health authorities.
Israel’s genocidal onslaught continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. — BERNAMA-WAFA
