The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed 14 new horrific massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 112 civilians and injuring over 173 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.

In a brief statement, the health ministry said that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments, which started on October 7, climbed to 28,176 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 67,784 people.

Every day, the Israeli army escalates its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7 last year.

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.
