At least 57,338 Palestinians have been martyred in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry reported on Saturday.
According to the ministry, 70 bodies were brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours, and 332 others were injured—raising the total number of wounded to 135,957. “Many victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the statement added.
Since resuming attacks on March 18, Israel has martyred 6,780 Palestinians and injured 23,916, breaking the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement established in January.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
