Gaza death toll passes 41,100 as Israel kills 34 more Palestinians

A ministry statement added that some 95,125 others have been injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 34 people and injured 96 others in three ‘massacres’ of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation over its ongoing brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian group Hamas.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
