Death toll in Gaza exceeds 50,000 amid ongoing barbaric ‘israeli’ operations described as genocide even by allies
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported that Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in the Gaza Strip have resulted in over 50,000 fatalities.
Following a two-month lull attributed to a ceasefire, the Palestinian death toll has surged significantly since Israel resumed its military operations on March 18, as reported by CNN.
According to the Ministry, Israeli military actions have resulted in the deaths of 673 individuals and left 1,233 others injured.
Over 200 fatalities amongst the victims were children, according to the latest reports.
The Ministry announced that an official judicial committee has confirmed the deaths of 233 individuals previously listed as missing, subsequently adding their names to the toll.
In a major escalation, over 700 Palestinians have lost their lives and more than 1,000 have sustained injuries as a result of an unexpected aerial assault by Israeli forces on Gaza since Tuesday. The sudden offensive has effectively dismantled a ceasefire and prisoner exchange accord that had been in place since January.
In November of last year, the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced that it had issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The charges relate to allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza region.
Israel is currently contending with a genocide case before the International Court of Justice, which arises from its military actions in the enclave.
