It noted that 39 martyrs and 62 wounded arrived at hospitals in the Strip over the past 24 hours. Many bodies are still under the rubble or scattered on the roads, with medical crew unable to reach them.
The Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18, after a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19.
However, the occupation violated the ceasefire, causing deaths and injuries. It refused to implement the humanitarian protocol, and tightened its stifling siege on the Strip, which is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian tragedy.
