Gaza War Death Toll Climbs to 31,045


The Palestinian death toll in Israel’s war on Gaza has climbed to 31,045 while humanitarian aid efforts gathered pace ahead of Ramadan.

The Health Ministry confirmed the death toll today, adding that another 72,654 people have been left wounded since 7 October 2023 in Israel’s military offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Earlier Saturday, the ministry reported that at least 82 Palestinians had been killed and 122 others injured in just 24 hours.

“The Israeli occupation committed 10 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, leaving 82 martyrs and 122 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.

“72% of victims of the Israeli aggression on Gaza are children and women,” it added.
