GAZA: Over 30,960 people killed, most of them children and women in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip which had entered 156th day, local Gazan health authorities said.
An additional 72,524 documented injuries were also reported, according to 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 defense 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.
