The ministry stressed that thousands of victims are still under the rubble on the streets, as the occupation forces continue to deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them. 

The genocide is ongoing

Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on various areas of the Gaza Strip for 223 days, resulting in more civilian casualties.

In Gaza City, medical sources reported that over 30 civilians, including 10 children, were killed as Israeli warplanes targeted al-Ghafri, Jahjouh, and al-Dalu families in Abu Iskandar, al-Sidra, and al-Sahaba Street areas, WAFA news agency reported.
