GAZA, March 27 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks has risen to 32,490, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said on Wednesday.
During the past 24 hours, the Israeli army killed 76 Palestinians and 102 others were wounded, the ministry said in a press statement.
This brings the total death toll to 32,490 and injuries to 74,889, since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on Oct. 7, 2023, according to the ministry.
It noted that some victims remain under the rubble amid heavy bombardment and a lack of civil defense and ambulance crews.
Israel has been launching a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
