GAZA: Over 30,960 people killed, most of them children and women in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip which had entered 156th day, local Gazan health authorities said.
An additional 72,524 documented injuries were also reported, according to Palestinian news agency (WAFA).
This toll remains initial since thousands of victims are feared dead under rubble or left in the streets, with Israeli forces hindering access for ambulance and civil defense crews, it added.
It also reported dozens of innocent Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed over the last hours in a series of Israeli bombardments from the air, land, and sea, across the besieged Gaza Strip.
