PALESTINE – The current Gaza death toll today (Sunday) is at 55,959 since Israel launched its operation across the strip, according to health ministry.
A ministry statement said that 51 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 104 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 131,242 in the Israeli onslaught.
“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 5,647 people and injured 19,201 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
