Health ministry: 1300 Palestinians are still under the rubble

Wednesday 18-October-2023

Approximately 1300 people including 600 children were reported missing under the rubble the Palestinian health ministry said on Wednesday evening.

Though it is likely that there are still missing people alive beneath the debris getting to them will be extremely challenging given the ongoing targeting and limited resources the ministry added.

3478 Palestinians were killed while 12065 others were injured in the ongoing Israeli brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip.

433 Palestinian families were wiped out according to the ministry and only 2421 of their bodies made it to hospitals while hundreds more are still buried under the debris.

The health ministry stated that women and children make up 70% of the victims.

Over 471 people have died as a result of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre and 314 more have been injured with 28 of them critically injured.

Providing adequate medical care to the ill and injured is extremely challenging after hospitals reached the point of actual collapse the ministry concluded.
