Israeli occupation forces have killed 24 more Palestinians in attacks in the Gaza Strip, taking the overall death toll to 39,677 since 7 October 2023, the Ministry of Health said today.

A ministry statement added that some 91,645 others have been injured in the assault.

“Israeli forces killed 24 people and injured 110 others in two ‘massacres’ against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry added.

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

Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since October.

Ten months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
