GAZA, May 22 (YPA) – The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 35,709 martyrs, the majority of whom are children and women, since the start of the Israeli occupation aggression on October 7, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Wednesday.

It said in a statement that the number of wounded has risen to79,990.

According to the statement, the occupation committed seven massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 62 people and injuring 138 others, who were transferred to hospitals during the past 24 hours.

A number of victims are still under rubble and on the roads, as the occupation prevents ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them, the statement added.
