The bodies of at least 65 Palestinians have been brought to Gaza over the past 24-hour reporting period, Al Jazeera reports citing the besieged territory’s health ministry.

The figure included eight bodies of people killed in previous Israeli attacks and recovered from the rubble in the territory, the ministry said. Additionally, at least 315 people were wounded in Israeli attacks over the same 24-hour period, it added.

The figures bring the number of people killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the fighting to 55,362 killed, with another 128,741 wounded.

Israel has killed 5,071 Palestinians and wounded 16,700 since breaking a ceasefire in March this year.
