Gaza death toll tops 50,600 as Israeli army kills 60 more Palestinians

ANKARA

Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 60 more Palestinians, bringing the death toll in its genocidal war since October 2023 to 50,669, the Health Ministry said on Saturday.

A ministry statement said another 162 wounded were transferred to hospitals in the last 24 hours, taking the number of injured to 115,225.

Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them, the statement added.

Israel resumed its attacks in Gaza on March 18, shattering a two-month truce.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
