Nearly 123,500 Palestinians injured in Israeli assault since October 2023, Health Ministry says
At least 54,249 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's genocidal war since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.
A ministry statement said that 67 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. It said the death toll rose after the names of 98 dead Palestinians were added to the registry after their data had been completed.
The ministry said 184 people were also injured, taking the number of injuries to 123,492 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 Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 3,986 people and injured 11,451 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.
