Palestinian death toll in Gaza surges to 34,488

MEHR: At least 34,488 Palestinians have been killed and 77,643 injured in Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza since October 7, according to a statement by Gaza’s health ministry.

34 people were killed and another 68 were injured in the last 24 hours, the statement added, Al Jazeera reported.

The death toll is estimated to be far higher with thousands believed buried in the debris of buildings collapsed during Israeli strikes.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
