More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, the Health Ministry said Saturday.
A ministry statement said 66 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 265 people were injured, bringing the total number of injuries in the Israeli onslaught to 169,430.
"Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them," the statement added.
It also noted that six Palestinians were killed and 40 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to access humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 2,603, with more than 19,094 others wounded since May 27.
The ministry said two Palestinian children died of malnutrition and starvation in the last 24 hours. This brings the famine-linked death toll since October 2023 to 459 people, including 154 children.
