Gaza death toll reaches 34596

The Palestinian death toll has surged to 34,596 as Israel continued its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October.

Anadolu Ajansı reported quoting the Health Ministry in the enclave on Thursday (May 2).

A ministry statement added that 77,816 other people had been injured in the onslaught.

“At least 28 Palestinians were killed and 51 others injured in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.

“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israel has waged an unrelenting offensive on the Palestinian enclave since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas last October 7 which killed some 1,200 people.
