The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today that the number of Palestinians killed since October 7 has risen to 30,960 and those injured 72,524.
The Israeli occupation forces have committed 10 massacres in the past day, killing 82 Palestinians and injuring 122 others, the ministry reported.
The ministry added that many victims remain under the rubble as the IOF deliberately prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
72% of Palestinian victims since October 7 are women and children, the ministry stressed.

63 women are killed in Gaza every day, 9000 women so far
To honor International Women's Day, the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) took to social media platform X on March 8 to raise the alarm about the suffering of Palestinian women.
"On International Women's Day, the women in Gaza continue to endure the consequences of this brutal war", it wrote.
It added, "At least 9,000 women have been killed, many more are under the rubble. On average, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day - 37 are mothers who leave their families behind."
On March 7, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed that "Israel" killed 9,000 Palestinian women since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian people of the Gaza Strip.
The report, which reviewed the conditions of Palestinian women on the eve of International Women's Day, indicated that 75% of the total number of 72,156 injuries were women, while women and children also constituted 70% of the 7,000 cases of missing persons.
