The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Wednesday that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 55,637, the majority of whom are children and women, since the start of the Israeli occupation's aggression on October 7, 2023.
She added that the death toll has risen to 129,880 since the start of the aggression, while a number of victims remain under the rubble, unable to be reached by ambulances and civil defense teams.
She noted that 144 martyrs and 560 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours, while the death toll and injuries since March 18, when the occupation violated the ceasefire agreement, has reached 5,334 martyrs and 17,839 injuries.
She pointed out that a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, and that ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.
Medical sources confirmed that the occupation forces have once again prevented international and UN organizations from accessing fuel storage sites designated for hospitals, claiming that they are located in red zones.
She stressed that obstructing fuel supplies to hospitals threatens to shut them down, as they rely on generators to power vital departments. She noted that the available fuel supplies to hospitals are sufficient for only three days.
