Dozens more Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks throughout Gaza over the last 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports citing the enclave’s health ministry.

The overall death toll since Israel’s offensive on the Strip since October 2023 has risen to 50,846, it said.

A ministry statement said 41 more injured people were brought to hospitals over the past day, taking the number of wounded to 115,729 since the attack began.

The new toll doesn’t include at least 29 Palestinians killed in the latest attack on Shujaiya in northern Gaza.
