Gaza, MINA – More than 700 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday, according to the Health Ministry’s report on Thursday, Anadolu Agency reported.
“The bodies of 710 people were transferred to hospitals since Tuesday, in addition to over 900 others injured,” said Khalil Al-Dakran, a spokesman for the ministry, in an interview with Anadolu.
He further revealed that 70% of the injured were children and women, who suffered the brunt of the Israeli assault.
“Many of the injured died due to the lack of urgent medical care amid an Israeli blockade on Gaza, which has caused a severe shortage of essential equipment and medicine,” he explained.
