More than 147,600 Palestinians injured in Israeli assault since October 2023, Health Ministry says
At least 60,332 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Friday.
A ministry statement said that 83 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 554 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 147,643 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 53 Palestinians were killed and over 400 injured while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 1,383, with over 9,218 others wounded since May 27.
The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 9,163 people and injured 35,602 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
