Gaza: Death toll climbs to 19,667 martyrs

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed 17 new horrific massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 214 civilians and injuring over 300 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or on roads.

In a news conference, spokesman for the ministry Ashraf al-Qudra accused the Israeli army of carrying out field executions and genocidal crimes in northern Gaza after it worked for weeks on destroying its hospitals and putting them out of service.

Spokesman Qudra also reported that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments, which started on October 7, climbed to 19,667 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 52,586 people.

He slammed the world’s silence on the massacres that are committed daily by the Israeli army in Gaza and the US administration’s insistence on supporting the aggression against Gaza.
