Medical sources tell Al Jazeera that at least 29 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Thursday, and there are reports of new attacks and casualties.
World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned of more disease and deaths due to Israel’s blockade of aid entering Gaza where more than 10,000 people need medical evacuation abroad.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,886 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 115,875 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700 saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
