"The total number of victims of the Israeli aggression has grown to 38,193 since October 2023. Another 87,903 people have been injured," the statement reads.

According to the ministry, 40 Palestinians were killed and 75 suffered injuries across Gaza over the past day.

The Israeli regime waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
