The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported on Monday that 31,112 Palestinians were killed and 72,760 were wounded by the Israeli occupation as the genocide in Gaza enters its 157th day.
The Ministry pointed out that 72% of the martyrs are women and children.
It detailed that "Israel" carried out seven massacres, killing 67 Palestinians and injuring 106 others in 24 hours only. It further noted that numerous Palestinians are still trapped under the rubble, with the Israeli military obstructing medical and civil defense teams from accessing bombed sites to rescue survivors or retrieve bodies buried beneath the debris.

Italian politicians visit Rafah, return with shocking testimonies
Earlier today, Italian lawmakers who visited the Rafah border declared the dire need for an international uproar to avert the intensification of the humanitarian catastrophe in Rafah, amid their visit to Egypt earlier in the week to provide the Italian government with testimonies of the tragedy inflicted upon the Palestinians by "Israel".
Stefania Ascari, of the Five Star Movement, said, "Israel's cruel actions in Gaza are based on a clear genocidal intent, refusing to allow water, food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies, is equivalent to exterminating an entire population. Palestine must be immediately recognized as a state and a reconstruction plan is urgently needed."
Italian Left Party's Nicola Fratoianni stated, "We saw thousands of trucks waiting at the border with Rafah as famine is ravaging Gaza. Trucks are not allowed to go through because Israel is stopping them. We are certain that a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding."
Angelo Bonelli, of the Greens and Left Alliance, expressed, "We have met Palestinian kids with their legs amputated in an Italian hospital in Cairo as Israel continues to commit crimes against humanity in Gaza. There's only one person who should be held accountable for the situation there; Netanyahu and his regime."
