By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

62 dead Palestinians, along with 99 wounded, have arrived at the Nasser Medical Center in southern Gaza within the span of 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported in the early hours of Saturday.

This number does not include the many other dead and wounded who have arrived at other hospitals and clinics throughout the Gaza Strip, or those who are still unreachable under the rubble of their own homes.

The intensity of Israeli bombardment of Gaza has increased dramatically in the last few days, possibly in response to the effective resistance of Palestinians in the Strip.

The number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli war on Gaza since October 7 has reached 17,490, including 7,870 children and 6,121 women, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza. More than 46,000 were wounded.
