Baku, TurkicWorld
At least 39 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, pushing up the death toll since October 2023 to 50,183, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday, TurkicWorld reports referencing Anadolu.
A ministry statement said that 124 more injured people were also transferred to hospitals, taking the number of injuries to 113,828 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 launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing 830 people and injuring nearly 1,800 others despite 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.
