Gaza (Quds News Network)- The death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza has reached 48,284, with 111,709 wounded, according to the Health Ministry on Monday, adding many bodies remain trapped under debris and in the streets, where rescue teams cannot reach them due to ongoing Israeli restrictions.
In the last 24 hours, 13 more bodies arrived at hospitals, including 9 recovered from the rubble and 4 killed or succumbed to injuries.
“The toll includes those killed in direct attacks, succumbed to their injuries, or lost their lives in the explosion of unexploded ordnance,” Gaza’s Health Ministry Director-General Munir al-Bursh noted.
On Sunday, three policemen were killed in an Israeli airstrike east of Rafah in southern Gaza, the Interior Ministry confirmed, calling on mediators and the international community to compel the occupation to stop targeting the police force, which is a civil apparatus.”
The officers were hit while securing the entry of aid trucks through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing. Dead bodies and skeletal remains have been discovered in the besieged strip since the Israeli forces’ withdrawal.
The Israeli army completed its withdrawal from the so-called Netzarim Corridor as part of the ceasefire agreement. However, Gazan authorities stated that movement restrictions remain in place. Vehicles can only pass through Salah Al-Din Street after inspection, while Al-Rashid Street remains off-limits to vehicles and open only for pedestrians.
