Gaza death toll nears 40,000
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported today, Tuesday, that the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) committed two massacres in the Gaza Strip, leaving 32 martyrs and 88 injured during the past 24 hours.
The Ministry warned that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and that the IOF prevents ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
It announced that the total death toll of the “Israeli” aggression had risen to 39,929 martyrs and 92,240 injuries since Oct. 7, 2023.
