A ministry statement added that some 92,537 other people have been injured in the ongoing deadly attacks.
“Israeli forces killed 69 people and injured 136 others in five ‘massacres’ against families in the last 48 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
The Israeli regime, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
More than 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
