Dec. 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The toll of victims due to the military offensive launched by Israel against the Gaza Strip has increased to around 44,900 dead and more than 106,600 injured, as reported this Saturday by the authorities of the enclave, controlled by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). .

The Gaza Ministry of Health has indicated in a statement that so far 44,930 deaths and 106,454 injuries have been specifically confirmed, including 40 “martyrs” and 98 injured due to “two massacres” carried out by Israeli troops during the last day.

However, he stressed that these balances only include the victims who have arrived at hospitals in the enclave and has reiterated that there are still numerous deaths “under the rubble and lying in the streets, since the ambulances and Civil Defense teams cannot reach them.”

Israel launched its offensive against Gaza, attacks carried out on October 7, 2023 by Hamas and other Palestinian groups, which left nearly 1,200 dead and about 250 kidnapped. Additionally, around 800 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and in settler attacks since then in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
