The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Sunday that the death toll from Israel’s ongoing assault has risen to 48,189, with 111,640 wounded since October 7, 2023.
The grim statistics come as bodies and skeletons of Palestinians were found in areas previously occupied by Israeli forces in the Netzarim axis in central Gaza.
In its daily report, the ministry stated that eight more Palestinians were killed within the past 24 hours, including seven whose remains were retrieved from under the rubble and one who succumbed to injuries sustained during the Israeli offensive.
The ministry warned that many victims remain trapped beneath collapsed buildings and in open areas, but ambulance and rescue teams are unable to reach them due to Israeli restrictions.
