Gaza death toll hits 39,400 as Israel kills 37 more Palestinians
At least 90,996 Palestinians injured in Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7, 2023, Health Ministry says

ANKARA (AA) – At least 37 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll to 39,400 since last Oct. 7, the Health Ministry in the battered enclave said on Tuesday.
A ministry statement added that some 90,996 others have been injured in the assault.
“Israeli forces killed 37 people and injured 73 others in three ‘massacres’ against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian group Hamas.
Over nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
