The Ministry of Health in Gaza released the latest toll of Palestinians killed and injured in Israeli strikes and attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
So far, 37,372 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, while another 85,452 have been injured as a result of the Israeli aggression, the ministry stated on Tuesday.
Regarding the martyrs that fell in the last 24 hours since the release of the latest statement, the ministry said that Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres in the besieged territory, killing 25 Palestinians and injuring another 80.
The ministry explained that emergency services are unable to reach Palestinian victims who are stranded on Gaza's streets or trapped under rubble due to the shortage of heavy equipment and resources in the besieged territory. Additionally, emergency services have been targeted by Israeli occupation forces in areas designated as operation zones by the Israeli military command.
With every update from #Gaza's Government Media Office, humanity faces a crucial test of its conscience.

On the 256th day of aggression against the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation committed new massacres in the central region and escalated bombings in Rafah, southern Gaza. Occupation military vehicles also made attempts to invade the area.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed that two Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli raid on the western Gaza Valley in al-Nuseirat, raising the death toll to 19 as of dawn Tuesday.
Palestinian media reported that 17 martyrs, including children, were killed in the Israeli occupation's bombing of civilian areas in the Central Governorate. The death toll is expected to rise as the Israeli bombing continues.
The Israeli raids on a house owned by the al-Rai family in the Nuseirat camp killed several Palestinians and the bombing targeted warehouses where displaced people from the al-Madhoun family were seeking refuge. Additionally, the occupation bombed another house belonging to the Harb family in the al-Bureij camp.
The occupation also carried out multiple attacks in the town of al-Mughraqa, while targeting the eastern part of the city of Deir al-Balah.
