The Gaza Ministry of Health reported today that at least 38,098 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli military offensive began on October 7.
The ongoing conflict, now in its 274th day, has also resulted in 87,705 injuries.
The ministry’s daily statistical report detailed that Israeli forces committed three massacres in the past 24 hours, leading to 29 fatalities and 100 injuries.
The report highlighted the challenges faced by emergency and civil defense teams in reaching thousands of victims still trapped under rubble and in inaccessible areas.
Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments early this morning targeted various locations across the Gaza Strip, resulting in multiple casualties, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
One of the deadliest attacks involved an airstrike on a house belonging to the Abu Shkyan family in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, which killed ten people, including seven siblings.
In another incident, WAFA reported that rescuers recovered the bodies of two individuals following an airstrike on a home in Wadi al-Salqa in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. The bodies were transported to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Additionally, an elderly man and his wife were killed when an Israeli aircraft bombed the home of the Karat family near the Freedom School in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast Gaza City. Their bodies were taken to the Baptist Hospital in the city.
