Mounting Deaths in Gaza: Nearly 54,000 Reported Killed

At least 53,939 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war since October 2023, Anadolu Ajansı reported quoting the Health Ministry on Sunday (May 25).

A ministry statement said that 38 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 204 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 122,797 in the Israeli onslaught.

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 3,785 people and injured 10,756 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
