    At least 62,622 Palestinians have been killed in IsraelAs genocidal
    war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on
    Saturday, Anadolu reports.

    A ministry statement said that 61 bodies were brought to hospitals in
    the last 24 hours, while 308 people were injured, taking the number of
    injuries to 157,673 in the Israeli onslaught.

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

    The ministry also noted that 16 Palestinians were killed and over 111
    injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in
    the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed
    while seeking aid to 2,076, with over 15,308 others wounded since May
    27.

    The ministry said that eight more Palestinians, including two
    children, died of malnutrition and starvation in the Israel-blockaded
    Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours. This brought the famine-linked death
    toll since October 2023 to 281 people, including 114 children.

    Since March 2, Israeli authorities have completely closed all Gaza
    border crossings, creating famine for the territoryAs 2.4 million
    population.

    The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and
    has since killed 10,778 people and injured 45,632 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.
