GAZA DEATH TOLL SURPASSES 45,250 AMID RELENTLESS ISRAELI ATTACKS

ANKARA, Dec 22 (Bernama-AA) -- At least 32 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since last year to 45,259, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported citing the Health Ministry in the enclave on Sunday.

A ministry statement added that some 107,627 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

“Israeli forces killed 32 people and injured 54 others in four massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israel has continued a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip despite a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.

The second year of genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labelling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 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 deadly war on Gaza.
