GAZA, Aug 15 (Bernama-WAFA) --  Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres against families in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, resulting in the killing of at least 40 Palestinians and the injury of 107 others, according to medical sources.

Local health authorities confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 7 has risen to 40,005 reported fatalities, with an additional 92,401 individuals sustaining injuries, Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.

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 ambulance and civil defense crews.
