Gaza: The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced Sunday that 87 Palestinians were killed and 409 others were injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, to 64,368 martyrs, in addition to 162,776 injured.

In a statement, the ministry said that the death toll and injuries since the occupation violated the ceasefire agreement on March 18th have risen to 11,911 martyrs, in addition to 50,735 wounded.

The ministry indicated that hospitals received 31 aid victims in the past 24 hours, along with 132 injured, bringing the total number of aid victims to 2,416, and the total number of wounded to 17,709.

Meanwhile, hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded five new deaths from famine and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, including three children. This brings the total number of victims of Israel's systematic starvation of Gaza's population to 387, including 138 children.

The Israeli entity continues its comprehensive aggression against the Gaza Strip, ignoring calls from the international community to halt the killing machine and open the crossings to allow the entry of aid, amid the catastrophic humanitarian situation.
