The health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that the Israeli occupation army committed three massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 29 civilians and injuring over 100 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

AhlulBayt News Agency: The health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that the Israeli occupation army committed three massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 29 civilians and injuring over 100 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

In a statement, the health ministry said that the Israeli army killed and injured a large number of civilians in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, but at least 129 of them, including 29 martyrs, were transported to hospitals.

The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, climbed to 38,098 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 87,705 people.

In a related context, Gaza’s health ministry has appealed anew to the UN to urgently provide its vital medical facilities with their fuel needs to operate power generators, warning that many departments at the remaining operational hospitals stopped working as a result of the fuel crisis.

The Gaza Strip has been under brutal bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7.

Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure and facilities.
