GAZA CITY, Palestine 

At least 57 Palestinian medics were killed and 100 others injured in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, the Health Ministry in the blockaded enclave said Monday. 

Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said 12 hospitals and 32 healthcare centers have been forced out of service due to the Israeli bombardment and lack of fuel.

“The Israeli occupation also destroyed 25 ambulances and forced them out of service,” he added.

Israel launched a relentless bombardment campaign on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas into Israeli border towns on Oct. 7.

Nearly 6,500 people have been killed in the conflict, including at least 5,087 Palestinians and more than 1,400 Israelis.
