The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has crossed 73,000, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported, as Israeli military operations continue despite a fragile ceasefire in place since October.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qedra, Palestinians had no choice but to bury the deceased in the hospital courtyard, as reported by Xinhua news agency.
The BBC reported that the Gaza Health Ministry spokesman stated the death toll has climbed to 500 after the reported air strike on the Al Ahli Arab hospital.
