ANKARA, Jan 4 (Bernama-AA) -- At least 59 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours, bringing the total death toll since October 2023 to 45,717, the Health Ministry in the enclave reported on Saturday.
According to Anadolu Agency, the ministry added that approximately 108,856 others have been injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 59 people and injured 273 others in four massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said in a statement.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads, with rescuers unable to reach them,” it added.
Israel launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023.
The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions denouncing the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.
On Nov 21, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence 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.
