At least 37 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll to 39,400 since 7 October, the Ministry of Health in the battered enclave said today.

A ministry added that some 90,996 others have been injured in the assault.

“Israeli forces killed 37 people and injured 73 others in three massacres against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

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

Over nine months into the Israeli genocidal war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
