According to a report by Anadolu Agency, the ongoing Israeli assaults on the Gaza Strip have raised the Palestinian death toll to 58,677. In a statement, Gaza’s Health Ministry said that over the past 24 hours, 94 more bodies were recovered across the territory following Israeli attacks, and 367 others were injured. This brings the total number of wounded to approximately 139,974.
The statement also noted that many people remain trapped under the rubble or lie dead in the streets, where rescue teams are unable to reach. As a result, the actual number of casualties may be significantly higher.
