Day 73 of Gaza war; Palestinian death toll tops 19,450

Tehran, IRNA – The death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza has reached 19,453 since the regime began its attacks in the besieged Palestinian territory 73 days ago.

According to an announcement by the Health Ministry in Gaza on Monday, the number of the injured Palestinians has also increased and reached 52,286.

Gaza officials say women and children make up most of the casualties caused by relentless Israeli airstrikes on the blockaded region.

The regime waged its war on October 7 in response to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm that Palestinian resistance fighters launched from Gaza against Israeli positions earlier that day.

Residential buildings and other civilian structures including hospitals have been the prime target of the intense Israeli air campaign.

The Gaza Government’s Media Office said on Monday that the regime has so far bombed 138 medical centers across Gaza, forcing the closure of 22 hospitals and 22 medical centers.

The office, according to Palestine Al Yawm news network, has called on Muslim and Arab states to set up makeshift hospitals in northern Gaza, as the Palestinian territory faces severe shortage of medical supplies in the wake of a blockade by the Israeli regime.
