The health ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation army committed nine massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 103 civilians and injuring over 142 others, while a large number of victims are still buried under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

AhlulBayt News Agency: The health ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation army committed nine massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 103 civilians and injuring over 142 others, while a large number of victims are still buried under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

In a statement, the health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments, which started on October 7, climbed to 29,195 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 69,170 people.

The health ministry also said that 18 patients had been evacuated from the Nasser Hospital to field hospitals, adding that 118 other patients are still inside the facility.

The situation inside the Nasser Hospital, which the Israeli army turned into a military outpost, has become more catastrophic and life-threatening, according to the ministry.

The Nasser Hospital has no electricity, water, food, milk for children, oxygen and other vital medical needs — a situation that threatens the lives of the patients and medical staff.

In the West Bank, the death toll of the Palestinian citizens — who have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces since October 7, 2023 — climbed to 412 martyrs on Monday, February 19.
