ANKARA: At least 92 Palestinians were killed and 123 others were injured over the last 24 hours as Israel continues its onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip, the territory’s Health Ministry said on Saturday.
‘The Israeli occupation committed eight massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 92 martyrs and 123 injured over the past 24 hours,’ a ministry statement said.
‘Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,’ it added.
Flouting the International Court of Justice’s provisional ruling, Israel continues its onslaught on the Gaza Strip where at least 29,606 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and 69,737 injured since Oct. 7, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas, which Tel Aviv says killed nearly 1,200 people.
The Israeli war on Gaza has pushed 85% of the territory’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean
water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
For the first time since its creation in 1948, Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, over its Gaza war.
An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
