Gaza, March 6 : The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 30,717 with 72,156 others wounded, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said in a press statement on Wednesday.
During the last 24 hours, the Israeli army killed 86 Palestinians and wounded 113 others, it added.
This brings the total death toll to 30,717 and injuries to 72,156, since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7, 2023, Xinhua news agency reported.
The statement noted that some victims remained under the rubble amid heavy bombardment and a lack of civil defence and ambulance crews.
Israel has been launching a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
