The toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 38,838 Palestinian martyrs and 89,459 injuries since October 7, 2023, the Ministry of Health in Gaza stated on Thursday. 

On the 286th day of war on Gaza, Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres, targeting entire families across the Gaza Strip. These attacks resulted in the killing of at least 54 Palestinians and injured another 95.

The Ministry of Health explained that emergency workers could not reach victims whose bodies lay on the Gaza Strip's streets and under the rubble caused by Israeli bombing.
