The Ministry of Health in Palestine has announced that 33,173 lives have been lost since the Israeli government’s bombardment and ground incursion into Gaza in October last year.
“The number of victims of Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip has reached 33,173,” the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
According to the report, 75,815 Palestinians were injured in the enclave.
Over the past 24 hours alone, Israeli forces in Gaza killed 46 people and injured 65, the Ministry of Health said.
Humanitarian agencies and the international community blame Israel for targeting civilians and killing children.
Last week, on October 31, 2023, an Israeli airstrike on a six-story apartment building in central Gaza killed dozens of people, including children, according to human rights watch.
“Israel’s unlawful airstrike on an apartment building on October 31 killed at least 106 people, including children playing football, residents charging phones in the ground-floor grocery store, and displaced families seeking safety,” said Gerry Simpson, associate crisis and conflict director at Human Rights Watch. “This strike inflicted massive civilian casualties without an apparent military target – one of scores of attacks causing overwhelming carnage and highlighting the urgency of the International Criminal Court (ICC) probe.”
Israeli authorities have provided no justification for the attack. The Israeli military’s long track record of failing to credibly investigate alleged war crimes underscores the importance of the ICC’s inquiry into serious crimes committed by all parties to the conflict.
