At least 122 Palestinians were killed on Wednesday in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, pushing up the death toll since last October to 33,482, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.

A ministry statement said that to date, 76,049 others had been injured in the deadly, months-long offensive.

''At least 122 Palestinians were killed and 56 others injured in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours,'' the ministry said.

Many victims are still trapped under rubble or on the roads, putting them out of reach of any would-be rescuers, it added.

Israel has waged a military offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 cross-border attack by Hamas which killed some 1,200 people. It has also imposed a crippling blockade on the seaside enclave, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.

The war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while much of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which has urged Israel to do more to prevent famine in Gaza.
