At least 40 Palestinians were killed and 146 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide, according to medical sources.

They said that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli war on the strip since 7 October 2023 has risen to 50,886 documented fatalities, with an additional 115,875 wounded, with the majority of the victims being women and children.

Since 18 March, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and wounded hundreds after PM Benjamin Netanyahu unilaterally ended a two-month truce with Hamas to resume the war on the strip. 

Thousands of Palestinians remain buried under the rubble in Gaza.

Emergency services were unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the strip, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews.

On Tuesday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that Gaza had become "a killing field," blaming Israel for blocking aid and failing in its "unequivocal obligations" to meet the needs of the Palestinian territory's residents.
