Gaza’s Health Ministry said Monday that Israeli forces killed 24 more Palestinians in Gaza over the previous 24-hour period, bringing its death toll since October 7, 2023, to 41,455 people.
The ministry said another 60 Palestinians were injured in that time, bringing the total number of wounded Palestinians that have been recorded by the ministry to 95,878.
“There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the Health Ministry wrote on Telegram.
The ministry’s figures are considered an undercount since they don’t account for the Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble, which was previously estimated to be about 10,000.
Strikes on Monday included an Israeli attack on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that a strike hit a home in the area, killing five people: a mother and her four children.
WAFA also reported that a child was killed by an Israeli drone strike east of the southern city of Khan Younis, and three Palestinians were killed when Israel bombed a school sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Last week, Gaza’s Health Ministry released the names of 34,344 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli forces, including 11,355 children. Among the children were 710 infants who did not make it to their first birthday.
The Biden administration continues to support the genocidal slaughter in Gaza by providing weapons to the Israeli military. A senior Israeli Air Force official recently acknowledged that without the US military aid, Israel would not be able to sustain operations in Gaza for more than a few months.
