Gaza, MINA – At least 16 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, taking the total death toll since last October 7 to 40,988, the Health Ministry in the war-torn territory said on Monday, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
A ministry statement added that some 94,825 other people have been injured in the assault.
“Israeli forces killed 16 people and injured 64 others in two ‘massacres’ of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
