At least 39 people were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza on Wednesday, the Palestinian health ministry in the territory stated.
An additional 124 people were injured as Israel tightens its vise on the population of Gaza and is reportedly moving towards prolonged direct control of the territory under a more united right-wing political and military leadership.
The health ministry said that 830 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel resumed its intensive attacks by air, land and sea on 18 March. Nearly 40 percent of those killed were children, according to the ministry.
The death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 reached a grim threshold of more than 50,000 confirmed fatalities in recent days, more than half of them women and children, according to the health ministry.
Another 11,000 people in Gaza are missing, according to the government media office in Gaza.
Israel meanwhile issued new forcible transfer orders affecting tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza’s north, including Jabaliya, Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Shujaiya, using the launching of rockets from the areas as an apparent pretext.
The military also ordered people to move from areas in Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza.
On Monday, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees, said that 124,000 people in Gaza had been displaced in recent days under “relentless bombardment.”
