Death toll from Israeli aggression on Gaza exceeds 42,000
GAZA, Oct. 09 (YPA) – The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Wednesday that the death toll from the Israeli aggressive genocide war against Palestinians in the strip has risen to 42,010, in addition to 97,720 wounded since October 7, 2023.
In its daily report, the ministry stated that “45 martyrs and 130 injured arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip, as a result of three massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian families during the past 24 hours.”
The report confirmed that there were still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews could not reach them.
In addition to the deaths and injuries, the Israeli war of extermination in the Gaza Strip left thousands missing, massive destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure, and a deadly famine, especially in the north, which claimed the lives of children and the elderly.
In disdain for the international community, the occupation forces continue their massacres in Gaza, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop them immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
