GAZA, April 17, 2025 (WAFA) – At least 40 Palestinians were killed and 73 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide in the region, according to medical sources.

They said that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 51,065 fatalities, with an additional 116,505 individuals sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children.

Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the same sources.

Israel's genocidal onslaught continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
