The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, released the latest death toll in the Gaza Strip, on Thursday, January 25, 2023.

The Ministry confirmed that the Israeli occupation has killed 25,900 Palestinians, and injured 64,110 others since it launched its aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Moreover, the spokesperson said the Israeli occupation committed 21 massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip in only 24 hours, killing 200 and injuring 370.

As has been the case since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the spokesperson said that a number of people in targeted areas remain stuck under the rubble caused by Israeli bombs. Martyred and injured Palestinians remain unattended to in several areas around the Strip, where the Israeli occupation has prevented emergency workers from carrying out their mission.

Al-Qudra emphasized that the Israeli occupation committed several acts of genocide in the last 24 hours, including the expulsion of refugees from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) center in al-Mawasi area, in Khan Younis.

The spokesperson highlighted the fact that Israeli occupation forces targeted the area which it had previously claimed to be a "safe place" for Palestinians forcibly displaced from their homes.

Additionally, al-Qudra said that occupation forces are besieging hospitals and medical centers in the southern province of Khan Younis, which has paralyzed the health sector in the area.

Medical teams at the Nasser Medical Complex and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis continue to work under harsh conditions, lacking necessary food and safety, al-Qudra explained.

Earlier on Thursday, Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre after targeting an area where thousands of Palestinians were waiting to receive aid at the Kuwait roundabout, south of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to the Ministry of Health, this resulted in the martyrdom of 20 people and the injury of 150 people in a nonfinal toll. The Ministry estimated that the number of casualties would rise.

The Israeli occupation also forcibly pushed out thousands of Palestinians seeking refuge in a UNRWA center in Khan Younis, targeting the internationally-protected site with smoke grenades.
