Gaza’s death toll from relentless Israeli attacks since last October has reached 37,658, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on Tuesday.
At least 86,237 people have also been injured in the onslaught, the ministry added in a statement, as the Israeli deadly onslaught enters day 263.
“In the last 24 hours alone, Israeli forces killed 32 people and injured 139 others in three massacres of families,” the ministry also said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7 attack last year by Hamas.
More than eight months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
