Gaza, February 09 (QNA) - The death toll from the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 72,032, with 171,661 injured since Oct. 7, 2023.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported that hospitals in the enclave had received five bodies of deceased Palestinians and ten injuries over the past 24 hours, while several victims are still languishing under the rubble and on the streets, amid the inability of paramedics and civil defense rescuers, heretofore, to reach them.

The toll of fatalities since the ceasefire last October has risen to 581, with the toll of injuries soaring to 1,553, while 717 bodies have been dug out from under the rubble, the ministry said.

A ceasefire between the Hamas movement and Israel had entered into force last October following the withdrawal of the occupation forces from the densely populated areas across the Strip; however, the Israeli assaults on Gaza and Gazans are henceforth still ongoing. (QNA)
