Over 700 Palestinians killed in Gaza since Tuesday: Ministry

Over 700 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday, said the enclave’s Health Ministry today.

“The bodies of 710 people were transferred to hospitals since Tuesday, in addition to over 900 others injured,” said ministry spokesperson Khalil Al-Dakran to Anadolu Ajansi.

He said 70 percent of the injured in the assaults were children and women.

“Many of the injured died due to the lack of urgent medical care amid an Israeli blockade on Gaza, which causes a severe shortage of essential equipment and medicine,” he added.

The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Nearly 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 112,000 others injured in a brutal Israeli military campaign in Gaza since October 2023.
