Gaza death toll tops 56,600 as Israel’s genocidal war continues unabated

Gaza, SANA – At least 56,647 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Tuesday.

A statement said that 116 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, with 463 people injured, taking the number of injuries to 134,105 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.

Israel resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 6,315 victims and injured 22,064, shattering 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.

This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.
