GAZA, March 10 — Over 30,960 people were killed, most of them children and women, in the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which had entered its 156th day, local Gazan health authorities said.
An additional 72,524 documented injuries were also reported, according to the 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 defence 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.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, local sources reported a disruption in telecommunications as Israeli airstrikes targeted several homes and the marketplace area in the camp, with the latter catching fire due to one of the strikes.
Intense Israeli carpet bombings also targeted the southern areas of Khan Younis city and other areas, towns, and villages, including Al-Matahen, Al-Zawayda, and Juhor al-Dik, in the central Gaza Strip.
In northern Gaza, WAFA correspondents reported that several Palestinians were killed when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid at the Kuwait roundabout in northern Gaza.
