Gaza: At least 54,981 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to a statement released by the Health Ministry on Tuesday. The ministry reported that 54 bodies were delivered to hospitals in the last 24 hours, with 305 individuals injured, increasing the total number of injuries from the Israeli attacks to 126,920.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Health Ministry highlighted that many victims remain trapped under the debris and on the roads, as rescue operations face significant challenges in reaching them. The Israeli military resumed its offensive on March 18, resulting in the deaths of 4,701 people and injuries to 14,879 others. This resurgence of violence disrupted a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that had been in place since January.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Additionally, Israel is currently facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice concerning its actions in the enclave.
