PALESTINE – The current Gaza war death toll is now at 54,056 since Israel launched its onslaught in October 2023. This was reported by the Palestinian health ministry on Tuesday, May 27. The current situation in Gaza Strip remains of concern as Israel has stepped up its attacks.

A ministry statement said that 79 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 163 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 123,129 in the Israeli onslaught, which enters its 600th day on Wednesday.

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 3,901 people and injured over 11,000 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
