The death toll in Gaza as the Israeli genocide nears its 100th day has risen to 23,357 martyrs, with 59,410 injured, the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed on Wednesday.
This comes as "Israel" carries out extensive massacres and attacks against civilians in the Strip.
“At least 147 people were killed and 243 others injured in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours,” the ministry stated, adding that “Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads and rescuers can’t reach them.”
Similarly, on Monday, a report by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that in the past 24 hours, "Israel" executed 12 massacres, killing 126 martyrs and injuring 241 Palestinians. Hundreds of victims are still buried beneath the rubble and others were left in the streets as medical rescue teams have failed to reach their locations.

'Israel' starves Palestinians to death
"Israel's" use of starvation as a weapon of war has resulted in an alarming situation where the vast majority of people worldwide experiencing famine are located in Gaza, as indicated in a recent report by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
The report revealed that approximately 706,000 people globally are in regions experiencing "catastrophic" or "famine" levels of hunger. From that total, approximately 577,000 are Palestinians in Gaza, Truthout reported, citing a recent study from the UN-supported Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
UNICEF also issued a warning, emphasizing the severe water scarcity in Gaza, where children, in particular, lack 90% of their water needs. The destruction or damage to half of the water and sanitation facilities due to Israeli aggression exacerbates the crisis.
French newspaper Le Monde predicted a bleak future as it foresaw nearly half of Gaza's population entering a stage of "danger and famine." This scenario implies a sharp increase in malnutrition and a rise in the mortality rate by February 7th.
