Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 56 more Palestinians, bringing the death toll to 51,495 since Israel launched its military campaign in October 2023, Anadolu reports quoting the enclave’s health ministry.

A ministry statement said that 108 more injured people were transferred to hospitals in the last 24 hours, taking the number of injuries to 117,524 in the Israeli onslaught.

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