21 Jan 2024 - 14:23

At least 24,937 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7, the Palestinian Health Ministry stated on Saturday.


Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: An additional 62,300 have also been wounded in the same time period, Al-Jazeera reported. 
The Spokesman for the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip Ashraf Al-Qudra also told Al- Jazeera that Israel has targeted the healthcare system since the very beginning of the war on October 7.
“The aid entering the Gaza Strip does not meet basic health needs,” he said, adding, “We try to differentiate between cases among the wounded and sick to save who we can.”
He added that Israel controls the mechanism for the exit of patients who urgently require medical treatment outside the Gaza Strip.
Israel started its military aggression against Gaza on October 7, 2023 following an operation by the territory's resistance groups, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
According to the UN, 85% of the population of Gaza is already internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure is damaged or destroyed./Fars News
