Palestinian death toll in Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has climbed to at least 63,557, as nine more people, including three children, starved to death, the Health Ministry confirmed Monday.
A ministry statement said that 98 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 404 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 160,660 in the Israeli onslaught.
The ministry also noted that 46 Palestinians were killed and over 239 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 2,294, with over 16,839 others wounded since May 27.
The ministry said that nine more Palestinians, including three children, died of malnutrition and starvation in the last 24 hours. This brought the famine-linked death toll since October 2023 to 348 people, including 127 children.
Since March 2, Israeli authorities have completely closed all Gaza border crossings, pushing the territory's 2.4 million population into famine.
