(The Muslim News): 40 Palestinians have been killed and 120 others injured by Israeli indiscriminate bombings in the Gaza Strip in the last 24-hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports. The total number of Palestinians killed from Israel’s deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7 has soared to 37,164 and 84,832 others injured the Health Ministry in the enclave said Tuesday.
At least nine Palestinians were killed and many others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes on residential areas across the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Civil Defense said in a statement that its rescue teams removed eight bodies of people, including children, along with a number of injured from under the rubble of a destroyed home that belongs to the Ashour family in Gaza City.
In a separate statement, the Civil Defense also said its teams removed at least one Palestinian killed in targeting a home for the Abu Olba family in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northern Gaza City, reported Anadolu Agency.
UK-based charity Oxfam on Tuesday criticized the UK government for approval of more than 100 export licenses for the sale of weapons and military equipment to Israel since Oct. 7, 2023.
“It is a comprehensive failure in the UK’s moral leadership and the values of humanity for which this country is still known on the global stage that the Government has granted more than 100 new licenses for arms sales to Israel,” Oxfam Chief Executive Halima Begum said in a statement.
She said it is also “a remarkable feat of intellectual compromise” for the British government to talk about peace in Gaza while facilitating the supply of even greater flows of weapons to one of the sides.
“This has occurred in the unequivocal knowledge that tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children and their parents are being killed by Israel’s prosecution of the war in Gaza,” Begum said.
