The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Wednesday that the number of Palestinians killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Strip since October 7 has now reached 34,568, with 77,765 injured as the war marks its 208th day.

Additionally, the Ministry stated that the Israeli occupation committed in the past 24 hours four massacres against families in the Strip, killing 33 people and injuring 57.

It noted that thousands of victims of the aggression remain trapped under the rubble and on roads inaccessible to ambulance and civil defense crews, as the occupation continues to prevent rescue teams from reaching them.

In detail, one was killed and several others were injured in an Israeli artillery shelling that targeted the Qaa al-Qurain area, south of the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the al-Dawa area north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip

15, including 5 children, were killed in Israeli raids on various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn today, our correspondent revealed, adding that Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a house belonging to the Burai family in Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip in extensive raids that targeted the camp.

Our correspondent also reported on Israeli aircraft launching raids on the town of Aabasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, and the eastern outskirts of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Artillery shelling also targeted the vicinity of the power plant in the central Gaza Strip, the al-Mughraqa and al-Zahraa areas in the central Gaza Strip, the al-Fokhari area, east of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, and the al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, according to our correspondent, who also reported that the Israeli occupation army withdrew from eastern Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, hours after its incursion.

Countless martyrs

The Wall Street Journal cited on Tuesday Palestinian health authorities as saying that they no longer have the capacity to count all the bodies of martyrs in Gaza, especially with hospitals, emergency services, and communications barely functioning. 

Given the difficulty in gathering data, the numbers of the dead are becoming less accurate, with numbers almost always underreported, as thousands remain unaccounted for.

Medhat Abbas, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, said, “At the beginning we had systems, we had hospitals,” adding, “The Civil Defense teams were able to get people who were stuck under the rubble. Then the whole system collapsed.”

The true picture of the human casualties due to "Israel's" ongoing genocide, accompanied by the total collapse of hospitals and rescue services, will take a long time to emerge.

Rik Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization’s representative for the West Bank and Gaza, said of the numbers killed in Gaza as per local health authorities, "We think that, unfortunately, it is reliable. And I wouldn’t be surprised if in the end, it is an underestimate."
