Gaza Death Toll Reaches 48,524: Health Ministry
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza has risen to 48,524 with 111,955 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry on Thursday, the majority of whom are women and children.
It added many bodies remain trapped under debris and in the streets, where rescue teams cannot reach them due to ongoing Israeli restrictions.
In the last 24 hours, 9 more bodies arrived at hospitals, including 7 recovered from the rubble.
“The toll includes those killed in direct attacks, succumbed to their injuries, or lost their lives in the explosion of unexploded ordnance,” Gaza’s Health Ministry Director-General Munir al-Bursh noted.
Over 130 Palestinians have been killed and more than 500 others injured in direct Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on January 19, medical sources said, as Israel continues its attacks on Palestinians using drone strikes and live fire, resulting in more deaths and injuries.
Dead bodies and skeletal remains have also been discovered in the besieged strip since the Israeli forces’ withdrawal.
