At least 50 more Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza in the last 24 hours, bringing the death toll from Israel’s military campaign since October 2023 to 51,355, Anadolu reports citing the enclave’s health ministry.

A ministry statement said that 152 more injured people were also transferred to hospitals, taking the number of injured to 117,248.

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