Death Toll in Gaza Exceeds 45,100
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The overall death toll in the Gaza Strip surpassed 42,100 on Thursday as the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian enclave continues.
At least 32 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 45,129, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Thursday.
A ministry statement added that some 107,338 others were also injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 32 people and injured 94 others in four massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added, Anaolu Agency reported.
Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7 last year despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 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 deadly war on Gaza.
