The death toll in Israel’s aggression against the Gaza Strip has risen to 34,535 since October 7, the Palestinian enclave’s health ministry said on Tuesday.

On the 207th day of the conflict, the Ministry of Health in its daily report on loss of life and injuries notes that “the death toll in Israel’s war against the Gaza Strip has risen to 34,535 dead and 77,704 wounded.”

“The army of the Hebrew state committed five massacres against families in Gazan in the last 24 hours, in which at least 47 were killed and 61 injured,” added the ministry, which also reported that “several victims are still buried under the rubble and the filling of roads, ambulances and the civil protection teams did not reach them.”

Israel continues to threaten to invade the town of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, despite warnings from the international community and the United Nations against any military operation in the city, which is considered the last refuge for the 1.4 million displaced people who are crowding there.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war in the Gaza Strip, which, in addition to starvation, has caused tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, an unprecedented humanitarian disaster and the massive destruction of infrastructure. leading to Tel Aviv appearing before the International Court of Justice for ‘genocide’.
