Relentless Israeli Attacks Bring Gaza Death Toll Close to 42,000
At least 56 more Palestinians were killed in relentless Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Tuesday.
A ministry statement added that some 97,590 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 56 people and injured 278 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire, Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.
Mediation efforts to reach a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement between Israel and Hamas have failed over Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to halt the war.
The Israeli regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
