(GAZA)
The Government Media Office (GMO) said in a statement that at least 320 killed or wounded Palestinians have been brought to hospitals across the enclave in a particularly bloody 48 hours.
It quoted healthcare officials as saying that many of the killed and injured arrived with third-degree burns caused by internationally banned weapons like thermal bombs.
“These weapons cause chemical substances to interact with the skin and directly cause chemical corrosion of the tissues in the bodies of the martyrs and the injured. They also cause severe pain.”
The GMO said many victims were martyred in a little more than a day after being wounded by such weapons, adding that it holds Washington fully responsible for arming Israel and causing the many “massacres” committed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.
The health ministry in Gaza said on Monday that the Israeli occupation army committed 3 massacres in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 80 citizens and injuring 216 others.
The Ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression, which started on October 7 last year, climbed to 38,664 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 89,097 people.
