LONDON: The death toll from the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip since Oct.7, 2023 has risen to 72,553, according to the Palestine news agency, Wafa.
A total of 172,296 people have been injured in the conflict.
Palestinian medical sources said on Monday that two people had been killed and 22 injured in the past 24 hours. Many victims are still trapped under rubble as ambulance and civil defense teams have been unable to reach them, Wafa reported.
Since a ceasefire was declared in October in the Egyptian city of Sharm El-Shiekh at least 777 people have been killed and 2,193 injured by Israeli attacks in Gaza.
A US peace plan, which outlines the disarmament of Hamas, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces and the reconstruction of Gaza has stalled since the start of the Iran war in February.
Several international organizations have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The International Criminal Court has issued warrants of arrest for several Israeli leaders on charges of committing war crimes.
