92 Palestinians killed in Gaza in last 24 hours
At least 92 Palestinians were killed and 130 others injured in the last 24 hours as Israel continues its onslaught on the Gaza Strip, the territory’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.
“The Israeli occupation committed nine massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 92 martyrs and 130 injured during the past 24 hours,” the ministry said in a statement.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” the statement said.
Flouting the International Court of Justice’s provisional ruling, Israel continues its onslaught on the Gaza Strip where at least 31,645 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and 73,676 injured since October 7, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Israel has pounded the Gaza
Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas, which Tel Aviv says killed nearly 1,200 people.
The Israeli war on Gaza has pushed 85 per cent of the territory’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60 per cent of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. Hostilities have continued unabated, however, and aid deliveries remain woefully insufficient to address the humanitarian catastrophe.
25 more detained in West Bank
Israeli army forces detained 25 more Palestinians in military raids carried out across the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to prisoners’ affairs groups.
Most of the arrests took place in the cities of Hebron, Bethlehem, Qalqilya, Jenin Tulkarm, Ramallah, and East Jerusalem, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society said in a joint statement.
A child and a woman from the Gaza Strip were among the detainees, the statement said.
