Gaza’s Ministry of Health says at least 144 bodies and 560 wounded have arrived at hospitals over the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports.

The toll includes four bodies that were retrieved from under rubble.

Since Israel broke a truce agreed with Hamas in March, at least 5,334 Palestinians have been killed and more than 17,800 have been wounded.

Israel “is once again preventing international and UN organisations from accessing fuel storage sites designated for hospitals, claiming they are located in red zones,” the ministry said, adding that available fuel supplies in hospitals are sufficient for three days.
