The Government Media Office in Gaza said on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation has committed 3,094 massacres during the ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, resulting in a toll of 44,844 martyrs and missing persons.

The media office added that "Israel" has killed 15,002 children, while 30 others died due to the famine brought on by the Israeli siege and blockade.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said in a statement on Wednesday that the number of Palestinians killed by the occupation since October has reached 34,844, with 78,404 others injured.

In the past 24 hours, 55 Palestinians were martyred and 200 were injured as the war continues for its 215th day.

Many victims remain under the rubble and on the streets as the Israeli occupation forces deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them, the Health Ministry added.

The Israeli army conducted intense bombing across the Strip throughout the day, including many regions in the North and the recently invaded Rafah.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the northern borders of Beit Lahia came under heavy fire and artillery shells, while Israeli airstrikes targeted the city.

Eastern areas of the Jabalia refugee camp and al-Zaytoun neighborhood near Gaza City also came under violent Israeli shelling, he added.

Heavy Israeli shelling and helicopter gunfire struck areas in eastern Rafah, where Israeli occupation forces invaded earlier this week. Additionally, civilian areas in the area sheltering over 1.4 million Palestinians were targeted with phosphorus bombs.
