At least 17 Palestinians have been killed and 69 wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s health ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

“A number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, unable to be reached by ambulances and Civil Defence crews,” the statement published on Telegram said.

The latest figures bring the toll since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18 to 1,630 killed and 4,302 wounded, the ministry said.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 51,000 Palestinians and injured 116,343, it added.
