GAZA, Oct 17 (Bernama-WAFA) -- Israeli occupation forces have committed two massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, resulting in the deaths of at least 29 Palestinians and injuring 93 others, according to medical reports cited by the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA).

Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since Oct 7 2023 has risen  to 42,438 reported fatalities, with an additional 99,246 individuals sustaining injuries.

The majority of the victims are women and children.

According to the same sources, 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 obstruct the movement of ambulances and civil defence crews.
