GAZA, Oct. 12 (YPA) – Palestine’s Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the bombing and Zionist air attacks on Gaza rose to 1354 citizens, and the wounded to more than 6049.
The ministry added that about 31 citizens were killed also and 180 others wounded in other attacks by the Zionist enemy in the occupied West Bank.
Ministry’s Deputy in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Youssef Abu Al -Rish, said earlier in the day: “The number of martyrs so far have been reaching approximately 1,200 and the number of injuries is about 5600.”
He said, during a news conference after a filed visit to inspect the facilities of Al -Shifa Medical Complex, most of these numbers belong to civilians, women, and the elderly.
“The continued cutting of electricity, water and fuel by the Israeli occupation posts a threat to the lives of the wounded and the sick and causes a severe health and environmental disaster,” Al -Rish warned.
The “Al -Aqsa Storm” Operation is entered its sixth day, amid Israel’s intensification of its raids on the Strip, and the expansion of the targeting to include southern Lebanon and the proximity of the Egyptian border.
