More than 107.2 thousand were injured as a result of the Israeli army attacks in the Gaza Strip. Almost 45.1 thousand Palestinians have been killed and more than 107.2 thousand have been wounded as a result of Israeli army attacks in the Gaza Strip since the start of the military operation in the enclave in October 2023. This statement was made by the Palestinian enclave’s Ministry of Health.
“Since October 2023, the number of victims of Israeli military attacks in Gaza has increased to 45,097, with another 107,244 people injured,” the ministry said in a report published on its Telegram channel. The Gaza Health Ministry added that over the past 24 hours, 38 people were killed in the enclave as a result of Israeli shelling, and another 203 were injured.
The situation in the Middle East has sharply deteriorated since the penetration of armed supporters of the Palestinian radical movement Hamas from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, accompanied by the murder of residents of border settlements and the seizure of more than 240 hostages. In response, Israel launched a military action in the enclave with the aim of destroying the military and political structure of Hamas and freeing all those kidnapped. The fighting in the Gaza Strip continues to this day.
