Gazans find more bodies in rubble as death toll nears 48,250
Palestinian medics and rescue teams retrieved 14 more bodies from the rubble in the Gaza Strip, pushing the overall death toll from Israel’s genocidal war since October 2023 to 48,239, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.
A ministry statement said that the toll also included three Palestinians killed by Israeli army fire in the last 24 hours.
According to the ministry, two injured people were also admitted to hospitals, taking the number of the injured to 111,676 in the Israeli onslaught.
“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the ministry said.
A ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since Jan. 19, pausing the Israeli war that has caused widespread destruction and left the Palestinian enclave in ruins.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November last year 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.
