The death toll in the Gaza Strip has surpassed 41,000.
The number of casualties in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the escalation of the situation in the Middle East has exceeded 41 thousand people. This was reported on Monday, September 23, by the Ministry of Health of the enclave.
"The number of victims of Israeli aggression has increased to 41,455 and 95,878 have been injured since the seventh of October last year," - indicates the press service of the agency in its Telegram channel.
In addition, it is noted that 24 people were killed and 60 injured in the last 24 hours in the territory of Gaza as a result of an attack by the Israeli army. Some of the victims still remain under the rubble and waiting for medical assistance.
Earlier, on September 21, it was reported that 21 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli strike on a school, which was used as a shelter. As a local TV channel noted, the Israeli military is mistreating the bodies of dead Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. According to locals, they use military bulldozers to lift and transport the bodies after the raid in Qabatiya.
On September 16, Francesca Albanese, the United Nations (UN) special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, called what is happening in Gaza a controlled genocide by Israel.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian radical movement Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, as well as invaded border areas in the south of the country and took hostages. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
