Another 17 Palestinians were killed in the barbaric Israeli attack on the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza. The total number of people killed in the attack since October last year has reached 50,000. In addition, more than 94,000 Palestinians were injured.

Anadolu Agency reported this information in a report on Thursday.

According to reports, at least 17 more Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s ongoing offensive in the Gaza Strip. The Ministry of Health of the blockaded territory has said that the total number of dead has increased to 40,878. The ministry said in a statement that at least 94 thousand 454 people were injured in this relentless attack.

The Ministry said that 17 people were killed and 56 others were injured in the last 24 hours due to the continued aggression of the Israeli forces. Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the streets as rescuers are unable to reach them.

Palestinian health authorities believe more than 10,000 people are still missing under the rubble of destroyed homes across the Gaza Strip. Israel has continued its brutal attacks on the besieged territory, despite a UN Security Council resolution essentially demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

It should be noted that since the unprecedented cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel has been carrying out continuous air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of buildings including hospitals, schools, refugee camps, mosques, churches have been damaged or destroyed in this Israeli attack. In addition, more than two million residents have been forced to leave their homes due to Israeli aggression.

Basically the Israeli invasion has reduced Gaza to rubble. According to the United Nations, about 85 percent of Gaza’s Palestinians have been displaced by Israel’s brutal offensive. And with acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, all of Gaza is now food insecure. In addition, 60 percent of the infrastructure in the blockaded territory has been damaged or destroyed. Israel has already been accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
