Day 299 in Gaza: 39,445 Martyred, 91,073 Injured by ‘Israel’

"Israel" continues to commit massacres against the people of Gaza, killing 45 Palestinians and injuring 77 others in the past 24 hours.

On day 299 of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces committed a number of massacres against the people of Palestine, killing 45 Palestinians and injuring 77 others in the past 24 hours. 

This raises the death toll in Gaza to 39,445 killed and 91,073 injured over the past nine months, according to the daily report released by the Ministry of Health in Gaza. 

A number of victims are trapped beneath the rubble, while rescue and civil defense teams remain unable to reach them. 

Health authorities designate Gaza Strip polio epidemic zone

While “Israel” continues obstructing the medical and health systems in Gaza, the Ministry of Health has declared the Strip an area affected by a polio (poliomyelitis) epidemic.

Additionally, authorities discovered the virus “CVPV2”, a variant of poliovirus that can cause paralysis and death in children, in sewage water in the Khan Younis and Central Gaza Strip governorates.

Health authorities explained that the announcement comes as a result of Israeli authorities depriving the population of usable water, destroying sanitation infrastructure, piling up thousands of tons of garbage, creating food insecurity, and overcrowding displaced people in imposed relocation areas.
