Gaza’s Civil Defense Agency told Al Jazeera that Israeli attacks killed 22 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily death toll update, which is released about mid-day Gaza time, that at least 14 Palestinians were killed and 108 were wounded. The ministry’s numbers only account for dead and wounded Palestinians who were brought to hospitals and morgues.
“There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
Israeli attacks on Tuesday included a strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. At least 11 Palestinians were reported killed in the attack, and over 40 were wounded.
In Jabalia, northern Gaza, seven people were killed, and others were wounded in a strike on a residential building. In Beith Lahia, at least one person was killed by an Israeli strike. Strikes also hit central and southern Gaza, killing at least two in the Nuseirat refugee camp and one in Rafah.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said that its death toll since October 2023 has reached 44,249 martyrs, and the number of wounded has reached 104,746.
A group of American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza estimated in an open letter to President Biden in October that the US-backed Israeli onslaught has killed at least 118,908 Palestinians, a total that includes indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who led the letter, told Antiwar.com in a recent interview that the estimate was the bare minimum they came up with by looking at the available data.
