Israeli Attack Kills Nearly 40,100 People In Gaza Strip

ANKARA - Israeli soldiers killed 69 Palestinians again in an attack on the Gaza Strip, bringing the total death toll to 40,074 since October 7, 2023, the Ministry of Health said in the enclave, Saturday, August 17.

A ministry statement added that about 92.537 others had been injured in the ongoing deadly attack.

"Israeli forces killed 69 people and injured 136 others in five'sacred' against families in the last 48 hours," the ministry said, quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, August 18.

"Many people are still stuck in that ruins and on the streets because rescue teams can't reach them," he added.

Israel, which ignores UN Security Council resolutions demanding an immediate ceasefire, has faced international condemnation amid their brutal attacks that have continued in Gaza since Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack.

For more than 10 months in Israel's war, much of Gaza's territory was abandoned amid a blockade that crippled the entry of food, clean water and medicines.

Israel is accused of committing genocide in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered it to immediately stop their military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians sought refuge from war before being attacked on May 6.
