The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 7 has risen to 32,916 and those injured to 75,494.
Israeli occupation forces committed seven massacres against families in Gaza in the past 24 hours, killing 71 and injuring 102 others in the past 24 hours, it added.
Many victims remain under the rubble, as the IOF deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them, the ministry emphasized.

MSF 'horrified' that Al-Shifa Hospital 'is in ruins'
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said today that it is horrified that Al-Shifa Hospital "is in ruins after a 14-day-long operation by the Israeli occupation forces in and around the facility."
In a statement on X, it added that Gaza's largest hospital is "now out of service."
This leaves Palestinians in the north of Gaza with "fewer healthcare options," MSF emphasized, adding that "access to Al-Shifa hospital was impossible for days, leaving patients without care."
Doctors Without Borders then referenced the World Health Organization (WHO) as it revealed on March 31 that 21 Palestinian patients had been killed, 107 others trapped including four children, and 28 people in critical since the IOF began their siege on Al-Shifa Medical Complex on March 18.
It further stressed that "hundreds of people have been killed including medical staff, and bodies are lying in the street, according to news reports," also mentioning the mass arrests of medical staff and other people."
As for the impact on MSF's clinic near the hospital, it quoted one of its staff members saying “I saw the huge damage...I was in shock. They damaged the office, clinic, all the cars, and the generators.”
MSF concluded by calling for the safe evacuation of "the remaining patients so they can receive the care they need," further urging for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza.
