The health ministry said that at least 62,744 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched it onslaught across the strip.
58 people were killed and 308 others injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of injuries to 158,259.
“Many victims remain trapped under rubble or on the streets,” the ministry said, noting that rescue teams are still unable to reach them due to ongoing Israeli bombardment and lack of equipment.
Since March 18, when Israel resumed its military campaign after breaking a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, the health ministry said 10,900 Palestinians have been killed and 46,218 injured.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to target civilians seeking humanitarian aid, killing 28 people and injuring 184 others in the last 24 hours.
According to the ministry, 2,123 Palestinians have been killed and more than 15,615 injured while seeking aid since May 27.
Israel’s full blockade of the Gaza Strip, in place since early March, has created catastrophic conditions for the enclave’s 2.4 million residents, leading to famine, widespread disease, and the collapse of essential services.
