Gaza death toll nears 36,100 as Israel continues its onslaught
Gaza’s death toll from Israel’s ongoing offensive has surged to 36,096, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on Tuesday.

At least 81,136 people have also been injured in the onslaught, the ministry added in a statement.
“Israeli forces killed 46 people and injured 110 others in five ‘massacres’ against families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Palestinian enclave since Oct. 7, 2023 following a Hamas attack despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the enclave.
Nearly eight months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel stands accused of “genocide” at the International Court of Justice, which in its latest ruling has ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
The number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has risen to 36,096, in addition to 81,136 injuries, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported Tuesday.
The Israeli occupation committed five massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 46 and injuring 110 in the past 24 hours, it added.
Many martyrs remain under the rubble and on the streets as the IOF prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
It is believed that these numbers are nowhere near the true number of victims of “Israel’s” genocidal war in Gaza, as Palestinian healthcare authorities face significant challenges in accurately tallying the number of martyrs wounded and individuals dying beneath the rubble.
In addition, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that since the start of the war on Gaza, “Israel” has killed 500 medical staff members.
Israeli aggression in Gaza puts more hospitals out of service
All hospitals in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip are out of service except for Tal al-Sultan Maternity Hospital as it struggles on its own to continue functioning and providing services to patients in Rafah Governorate, Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported.
Six hospitals have gone out of service as a result of the continuation and expansion of the Israeli incursion into Rafah and its deliberate targeting of health facilities and institutions, causing severe damage and killing several crew members amid the difficulty of reaching these hospitals, which are as follows: xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv xcv
