42,718 martyrs since the occupation began its war of extermination in Gaza

The ministry said in a statement today that the number of victims of the ongoing occupation aggression for the 382nd day on the Strip has risen to 42,718 martyrs and 100,282 wounded, while a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.

Munir al-Barash, Director General of the Ministry of Health said that the Israeli occupation is committing a major crime in front of the world, as Palestinians are experiencing death by the Israeli killing machine with no safe place to go to in the northern Gaza Strip. He indicated that health services are provided at the bare minimum, and there are no intensive care rooms in the northern Gaza hospitals, and there is a severe shortage of doctors, which leads to the martyrdom of many of the wounded.

In turn, the spokesman for the Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, indicated that the occupation is persisting in its policy of killing, crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the northern Gaza Strip.  He clarified that since the occupation escalated its aggression on the region on the sixth of this month, more than 600 martyrs and hundreds of wounded have arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital and hundreds of persons are still missing.
